The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect is conventionally understood to exist only in Chern insulators, while a recent study has shown that ferromagnetic metals can also host the QAH effect. Between insulators and metals, we demonstrate…
We propose a new empirical formula for the anomalous Hall effect in heavy electron materials based on a phenomenological two-fluid description of the f-electron states. The new formula incorporates two previous theories proposed by Fert and…
When phonons couple to fermions in 2D semimetals, the interaction may turn the system into an insulator. There are several insulating phases in which the time reversal and the sublattice symmetries are spontaneously broken. Examples are…
The Hall conductivity given by the Kubo formula is a linear response of the quantum transverse transport to a weak electric field. It has been intensively studied for a quantum system without decoherence, but it is barely explored for…
The Hall conductivity $\sigma_{\rm xy}$ of a two-dimensional electron system is quantized in units of $e^2/h$ when the Fermi level is located in the mobility gap between two Landau levels. We consider the deviation of $\sigma_{\rm xy}$ from…
We show that different universal values can be obtained for the two-terminal conductance of a fractional quantum Hall state. At large voltages, or strong coupling, the conductance of a point-like tunneling junction between an electron gas…
