A two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator (TCI) with a single unit cell (u.c.) thickness is demonstrated here. To that end, one first shows that tetragonal ($C_4$ in-plane) symmetry is not a necessary condition for the creation of…
We analyse the behaviour of the linear phase of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in the presence of a foam. Such a problem may be relevant, for example, to some inertial confinement fusion (ICF) scenarios such as foams within the…

The topology of insulators is usually revealed through the presence of gapless boundary modes: this is the so-called bulk-boundary correspondence. However, the many-body wavefunction of a crystalline insulator is endowed with additional…
Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs), having properties similar to those of the fractional quantum Hall effect, have been established numerically in various toy models. To fully explore their fundamental physics and to develop practical…
A topological insulator is a state of matter which does not break any symmetry and is characterized by topological invariants, the integer expectation values of non-local operators. Antiferromagnetism on the other hand is a broken symmetry…
Based on renormalization-group (RG) calculations, a recent Letter by Zhao et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 176601 (2021)] claimed that three-dimensional second-order topological insulators (SOTIs) are always unstable to the Coulomb interaction…

Topological phase transitions in free fermion systems can be characterized by closing of single-particle gap and change in topological invariants. However, in the presence of electronic interactions, topological phase transitions are more…
Topological insulators are materials with a bulk excitation gap generated by the spin orbit interaction, and which are different from conventional insulators. This distinction is characterized by Z_2 topological invariants, which…
