We discuss the conditions under which the predicted (but not yet observed) zero-field interlayer excitonic condensation in double layer graphene has a critical temperature high enough to allow detection. Crucially, disorder arising from charged impurities and corrugation in the lattice structure --- invariably present in all real samples --- affects the formation of the condensate via the induced charge inhomogeneity. In the former case, we use a numerical Thomas-Fermi-Dirac theory to describe the local fluctuations in the electronic density in double layer graphene devices and estimate the effect these realistic fluctuations have on the formation of the condensate. To make this estimate, we calculate the critical temperature for the interlayer excitonic superfluid transition within the mean-field BCS theory for both optimistic (unscreened) and conservative (statically screened) approximations for the screening of the interlayer Coulomb interaction. We also estimate the effect of allowing dynamic contributions to the interlayer screening. We then conduct similar calculations for double quadratic bilayer graphene, showing that the quadratic nature of the low-energy bands produces pairing with critical temperature of the same order of magnitude as the linear bands of double monolayer graphene.

The phase diagram of graphene decorated with magnetic adatoms distributed either on a single sublattice, or evenly over the two sublattices, is computed for adatom concentrations as low as $sim1%$. Within the framework of the $s$-$d$ interaction, we
take into account disorder effects due to the random positioning of the adatoms and/or to the thermal fluctuations in the direction of magnetic moments. Despite the presence of disorder, the magnetic phases are shown to be stable down to the lowest concentration accessed here. This result agrees with several experimental observations where adatom decorated graphene has been shown to have a magnetic response. In particular, the present theory provides a qualitative understanding for the results of Hwang et al. [Sci. Rep. 6, 21460 (2016)], where a ferromagnetic phase has been found below $sim30,text{K}$ for graphene decorated with S-atoms.
Superconducting wires with broken time-reversal and spin-rotational symmetries can exhibit two distinct topological gapped phases and host bound Majorana states at the phase boundaries. When the wire is tuned to the transition between these two phase
s and the gap is closed, Majorana states become delocalized leading to a peculiar critical state of the system. We study transport properties of this critical state as a function of the length $L$ of a disordered multichannel wire. Applying a non-linear supersymmetric sigma model of symmetry class D with two replicas, we identify the average conductance, its variance and the third cumulant in the whole range of $L$ from the Ohmic limit of short wires to the regime of a broad conductance distribution when $L$ exceeds the correlation length of the system. In addition, we calculate the average shot noise power and variance of the topological index for arbitrary $L$. The general approach developed in the paper can also be applied to study combined effects of disorder and topology in wires of other symmetries.
We study the superconducting proximity effect in a quantum wire with broken time-reversal (TR) symmetry connected to a conventional superconductor. We consider the situation of a strong TR-symmetry breaking, so that Cooper pairs entering the wire fro
m the superconductor are immediately destroyed. Nevertheless, some traces of the proximity effect survive: for example, the local electronic density of states (LDOS) is influenced by the proximity to the superconductor, provided that localization effects are taken into account. With the help of the supersymmetric sigma model, we calculate the average LDOS in such a system. The LDOS in the wire is strongly modified close to the interface with the superconductor at energies near the Fermi level. The relevant distances from the interface are of the order of the localization length, and the size of the energy window around the Fermi level is of the order of the mean level spacing at the localization length. Remarkably, the sign of the effect is sensitive to the way the TR symmetry is broken: In the spin-symmetric case (orbital magnetic field), the LDOS is depleted near the Fermi energy, whereas for the broken spin symmetry (magnetic impurities), the LDOS at the Fermi energy is enhanced.
We study the thermal conductivity in disordered $s$-wave superconductors. Expanding on previous works for normal metals, we develop a formalism that tackles particle diffusion as well as the weak localization (WL) and weak anti-localization (WAL) eff
ects. Using a Greens functions diagrammatic technique, which takes into account the superconducting nature of the system by working in Nambu space, we identify the systems low-energy modes, the diffuson and the Cooperon. The time scales that characterize the diffusive regime are energy dependent; this is in contrast with the the normal state, where the relevant time scale is the mean free time $tau_e$, independent of energy. The energy dependence introduces a novel energy scale $varepsilon_*$, which in disordered superconductors ($tau_e Deltall 1$, with $Delta$ the gap) is given by $varepsilon_* = sqrt{Delta/tau_e}$. From the diffusive behavior of the low-energy modes, we obtain the WL correction to the thermal conductivity. We give explicitly expressions in two dimensions. We determine the regimes in which the correction depends explicitly on $varepsilon_*$ and propose an optimal regime to verify our results in an experiment.
The incommensurate 30$^{circ}$ twisted bilayer graphene possesses both relativistic Dirac fermions and quasiperiodicity with 12-fold rotational symmetry arising from the interlayer interaction [Ahn et al., Science textbf{361}, 782 (2018) and Yao et a
l., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. textbf{115}, 6928 (2018)]. Understanding how the interlayer states interact with each other is of vital importance for identifying and subsequently engineering the quasicrystalline order for the applications in future electronics and optoelectronics. Herein, via symmetry and group representation theory we unravel an interlayer hybridization selection rule for $D_{6d}$ bilayer consisting of two $C_{6v}$ monolayers no matter the system size, i.e., only the states from two $C_{6v}$ subsystems with the same irreducible representations are allowed to be hybridized with each other. The hybridization shows two categories including the equivalent and non-equivalent hybridizations with corresponding 12-fold symmetrical and 6-fold symmetrical antibonding (bonding) states, which are respectively generated from $A_1+A_1$, $A_2+A_2$, $E_1+E_1$, and $E_2+E_2$ four paring states and $B_1+B_1$ and $B_2+B_2$ two paring states. With the help of $C_6$ and $sigma_x$ symmetry operators, calculations on the hybridization matrix elements verify the characteristic of the zero non-diagonal and nonzero diagonal patterns required by the hybridization selection rule. In reciprocal space, a vertical electric field breaks the 12-fold symmetry of originally resonant quasicrystalline states and acts as a polarizer allowing the hybridizations from two $E_1$, $E_2$ and $B_2$ paring states but blocking others. Our theoretical framework also paves a way for revealing the interlayer hybridization for bilayer system coupled by the van der Waals interaction.
