Motivated by intertwined crystal symmetries and topological phases, we study the possible realization of topological insulator in nonsymmorphic crystals at integer fillings. In particular, we consider spin orbit coupled electronic systems…
The ground-state phase diagram of a half-filled anisotropic Kondo lattice model is calculated within a mean-field theory. For small transverse exchange coupling $J_{\perp}<J_{\perp c1}$, the ground state shows an antiferromagnetic…
We analyze the impact of strong correlations on the surface states of a three-dimensional topological Kondo insulator. An important observation is that correlations are strongly increased at the surface, which leads to an energetical…
Thermodynamic properties of the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model at half-filling are studied by the density matrix renormalization group method applied to the quantum transfer matrix. Spin susceptibility, charge susceptibility, and…
In the framework of the mean field approach, we provide analytical and numerical solution of the spin-1/2 anisotropic Kondo lattice for arbitrary dimension at half filling. Nontrivial solution for the amplitude of the field opens a gap in…
The recent discovery of topological insulators has revived interest in the topological properties of insulating band structures. In this work, we extend the topological classification of insulating band structures to include certain point…
We theoretically investigate the nature of laser-irradiated Kondo insulators. Using Floquet theory and slave boson approach, we study a periodic Anderson model and derive an effective model which describes the laser-irradiated Kondo…
We investigate the effect of magnetic fields on a Kondo insulator by using the periodic Anderson model. The analysis by dynamical mean field theory combined with quantum Monte Carlo simulations reveals that the magnetic field drives the…
Combination of the finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization-group and the maximum entropy presents a new method to calculate dynamic quantities of one-dimensional many-body systems. In the present paper, density of states, local…
Quantum entanglement permeates the complex ground states of correlated electron materials defying single-particle descriptions. Coupled magnetic atoms have potential as model systems for entanglement in condensed matter giving the…
Electron tunneling through a system formed by two coupled quantum dots in a parallel geometry is considered within a generalized Anderson model. The dots are assumed to have nearly equal radii but different (and tunable) gate voltages. In…
The possibility of realizing topological insulators by spontaneous formation of electronic superstructure is theoretically investigated in a minimal two-orbital model including both the spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations on a…
In this Book Chapter (invited) we briefly review the basic concepts defining topological insulators and focus on elaborating on the key experimental results that revealed and established their symmetry protected (SPT) topological nature. We…
The Kondo lattice model of spin-1/2 local moments coupled to the conduction electrons at half-filling is studied for its orbital response to magnetic field on bipartite lattices. Through an effective charge dynamics, in a canonical…
In our recent study, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 086402 (2012), we have revealed the intriguing properties of the ferromagnetic state in the Kondo lattice model with antiferromagnetic coupling in infinite dimensions: within the ferromagnetic…
We investigate physical properties of an Anderson impurity embedded in the bulk of a topological insulator. The slave-boson mean-field approximation is used to account for the strong electron correlation at the impurity. Different from the…
We study the usual one-dimensional Kondo lattice model (1D KLM) using the non-Abelian bosonization formalism. At half-filling, we obtain a Kondo insulator with a gap in both charge and spin excitations which varies quite linearly with the…
Motivated by the observation of light surface states in SmB6, we examine the effects of surface Kondo breakdown in topological Kondo insulators. We present both numerical and analytic results which show that the decoupling of the localized…
Topological Anderson insulators represent a class of disorder-induced, nontrivial topological states of matter. In this study, we propose a feasible strategy to unveil and design topological Anderson insulators protected by latent…
In this work, a multichannel Kondo lattice model is studied in the thermodynamic limit. The conduction band is described by a constant hopping amplitude between any pair of lattice sites. For this system, we have obtained the exact…
