چکیده
Interacting disordered zigzag graphene nanoribbons have fractional charges, are quasi-one-dimensional, and display an exponentially small gap. Our numerical computations showed that the topological entanglement entropy of these systems has a finite but universal value, independent strength interaction disorder. The result was obtained for shows disorder-free phase is critical becomes unstable in presence

Topological entanglement entropy.
We formulate a universal characterization of the many-particle quantum entanglement in the ground state of a topologically ordered two-dimensional medium with a mass gap. We consider a disk in the plane, with a smooth boundary of length L, large compared to the correlation length. In the ground state, by tracing out all degrees of freedom in the exterior of the disk, we obtain a marginal densit...
متن کاملTopological Entanglement Entropy and Holography
We study the entanglement entropy in confining theories with gravity duals using the holographic prescription of Ryu and Takayanagi. The entanglement entropy between a region and its complement is proportional to the minimal area of a bulk hypersurface ending on their border. We consider a disk in 2+1 dimensions and a ball in 3+1 dimensions and find in both cases two types of bulk hypersurfaces...
متن کاملUnusual electronic properties of clean and disordered zigzag graphene nanoribbons.
We revisit the problem of electron transport in clean and disordered zigzag graphene nanoribbons, and expose numerous hitherto unknown peculiar properties of these systems at zero energy, where both sublattices decouple because of chiral symmetry. For clean ribbons, we give a quantitative description of the unusual power-law dispersion of the central energy bands and of its main consequences, i...
متن کاملTopological phase-diagram of time-periodically rippled zigzag graphene nanoribbons
The topological properties of electronic edge states in time-periodically driven spatially-periodic corrugated zigzag graphene nanoribbons are studied. An effective one-dimensionalHamiltonian is used to describe the electronic properties of graphene and the time-dependence is studiedwithin the Floquet formalism. Then the quasienergy spectrumof the evolution operator is obtained using analytical...
