Abstract

In this paper, we study the effects of attractive correlation on the topological insulator (TITI) with topological flat-bands using an extended attractive Kane-Mele-Hubbard model (KMHM). In the KMHM, we found a quantum phase transition from TITI to the superconductor (SCSC) state upon the increasing of the attractive Hubbard interaction UU at the mean field level. This type of SCSC phase transition is different from the traditional SCSC phase transition which develops from the gapless Fermi Liquid. Cooperon-type gapped excitations exist in the TITI side near this type of SCSC phase transition.
