We investigate the effect of the amount of disorder on the statistics of breaking bursts during the quasi-static fracture of heterogeneous materials. We consider a fiber bundle model where the strength of single fibers is sampled from a power law distribution over a finite range, so that the amount of materials disorder can be controlled by varying the power law exponent and the upper cutoff of fibers strength. Analytical calculations and computer simulations, performed in the limit of equal load sharing, revealed that depending on the disorder parameters the mechanical response of the bundle is either perfectly brittle where the first fiber breaking triggers a catastrophic avalanche, or it is quasi-brittle where macroscopic failure is preceded by a sequence of bursts. In the quasi-brittle phase, the statistics of avalanche sizes is found to show a high degree of complexity. In particular, we demonstrate that the functional form of the size distribution of bursts depends on the system size: for large upper cutoffs of fibers strength, in small systems the sequence of bursts has a high degree of stationarity characterized by a power law size distribution with a universal exponent. However, for sufficiently large bundles the breaking process accelerates towards the critical point of failure which gives rise to a crossover between two power laws. The transition between the two regimes occurs at a characteristic system size which depends on the disorder parameters.

We investigate the size scaling of the macroscopic fracture strength of heterogeneous materials when microscopic disorder is controlled by fat-tailed distributions. We consider a fiber bundle model where the strength of single fibers is described by
a power law distribution over a finite range. Tuning the amount of disorder by varying the power law exponent and the upper cutoff of fibers strength, in the limit of equal load sharing an astonishing size effect is revealed: For small system sizes the bundle strength increases with the number of fibers and the usual decreasing size effect of heterogeneous materials is only restored beyond a characteristic size. We show analytically that the extreme order statistics of fibers strength is responsible for this peculiar behavior. Analyzing the results of computer simulations we deduce a scaling form which describes the dependence of the macroscopic strength of fiber bundles on the parameters of microscopic disorder over the entire range of system sizes.
We study the effect of strong disorder on topology and entanglement in quench dynamics. Although disorder-induced topological phases have been well studied in equilibrium, the disorder-induced topology in quench dynamics has not been explored. In thi
s work, we predict a disorder-induced topology of post-quench states characterized by the quantized dynamical Chern number and the crossings in the entanglement spectrum in $(1+1)$ dimensions. The dynamical Chern number undergoes transitions from zero to unity, and back to zero when increasing the disorder strength. The boundaries between different dynamical Chern numbers are determined by delocalized critical points in the post-quench Hamiltonian with the strong disorder. An experimental realization in quantum walks is discussed.
This paper details the investigation of the influence of different disorders in two-dimensional topological insulator systems. Unlike the phase transitions to topological Anderson insulator induced by normal Anderson disorder, a different physical pi
cture arises when bond disorder is considered. Using Born approximation theory, an explanation is given as to why bond disorder plays a different role in phase transition than does Anderson disorder. By comparing phase diagrams, conductance, conductance fluctuations, and the localization length for systems with different types of disorder, a consistent conclusion is obtained. The results indicate that a topological Anderson insulator is dependent on the type of disorder. These results are important for the doping processes used in preparation of topological insulators.
The individual building blocks of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures host fascinating physical phenomena, ranging from ballistic electron transport in graphene to striking optical properties of MoSe2 sheets. The presence of bonded and non-bonded co
hesive interactions in a vdW heterostructure, promotes diversity in their structural arrangements, which in turn profoundly modulate the properties of their individual constituents. Here, we report on the presence of correlated structural disorder coexisting with the nearly perfect crystallographic order along the growth direction of epitaxial vdW heterostructures of Bi2Se3/graphene/SiC. Using the depth penetration of X-ray diffraction microscopy and scattering, we probed their crystal structure from atomic to mesoscopic length scales, to reveal that their structural diversity is underpinned by spatially correlated disorder states. The presence of the latter induces on a system, widely considered to behave as a collection of nearly independent 2-dimensional units, a pseudo-3-dimensional character, when subjected to epitaxial constraints and ordered substrate interactions. These findings shed new light on the nature of the vast structural landscape of vdW heterostructures and could enable new avenues in modulating their unique properties by correlated disorder.
In a recent Letter, Berciu and Bhatt have presented a mean-field theory of ferromagnetism in III-V semiconductors doped with manganese, starting from an impurity band model. We show that this approach gives an unphysically broad impurity band and is
thus not appropriate for (Ga,Mn)As containing 1-5% Mn. We also point out a microscopically unmotivated sign change in the overlap integrals in the Letter. Without this sign change, stable ferromagnetism is not obtained.
