Integer quantum Hall effect of two-component hardcore bosons in a topological triangular lattice
Abstract
We study the many-body ground states of two-component hardcore bosons in topological triangular lattice models. Utilizing exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group calculations, we demonstrate that at commensurate two-thirds filling per lattice site, two-component bosonic integer quantum hall (BIQH) effect emerges with the associated matrix under strong intercomponent Hubbard repulsion. The topological nature is further elucidated by (i) a unique ground state degeneracy with a robust spectrum gap, (ii) a quantized topological Chern number matrix , and (iii) two counterpropagating edge branches. Moreover, with increasing nearest-neighbor repulsions, the ground state undergoes a first-order transition from a BIQH liquid to a commensurate solid order.
