Observation of Kekulé vortices around hydrogen adatoms in graphene
Abstract Fractional charges are one of the wonders of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Such objects are also anticipated in two-dimensional hexagonal lattices under time reversal symmetry—emerging as bound states of a rotating bond texture called a Kekulé vortex. However, the physical mechanisms...
