The triple phase transitions or simultaneous transitions of three different phases, namely topological, parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking, and metal-insulator transitions, are observed in an extension of PT symmetric non-Hermitian…
A material's electronic topology, which is generally described via its Bloch states and the associated bandstructure, will be enriched by the presence of interactions. In metallic settings, the interactions are usually treated through the…
