About this list
This is a small weekly list of papers related to topological photovoltaic response, quantum geometry, symmetry, and band topology.
Papers are selected for relevance to the topics below.
A topological material receives a visible noncentrosymmetric highlight only when broken bulk inversion symmetry is supported by the supplied evidence. Surface or interface inversion breaking is recorded separately.
Papers connecting Hopf or delicate invariants to optical response, shift current, or quantum geometry are marked when that connection is explicit.
The classifier does not use “shift current” as a synonym for the full bulk photovoltaic effect. Intrinsic shift, injection, ballistic, impurity-assisted, excitation, and recombination contributions are labeled separately whenever the abstract supports that distinction.
Collection, date filtering, deduplication, and initial ranking are automated. The published notes are based on the supplied abstract and source metadata.
Transparency
Summaries paraphrase source abstracts and selected accessible text. They are not peer review, endorsement, or a substitute for reading the paper. When evidence is incomplete, the feed should say so rather than infer a symmetry, invariant, or mechanism.
“Relevance to my research” is an editorial bridge: it identifies a concrete mechanism, material, mathematical tool, benchmark, or open question that could inform my work.
