We study ribbons of the dice two-dimensional lattice (that we call ``dice ladders'') known to have nontrivial topological properties, such as Chern numbers 2 [Wang and Y. Ran, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 84}, 241103 (2011)]. Our main results are two…
A large number of recent works point to the emergence of intriguing analogs of fractional quantum Hall states in lattice models due to effective interactions in nearly flat bands with Chern number C=1. Here, we provide an intuitive and…
We report the theoretical discovery of a large class of 2D tight-binding models containing nearly-flat bands with nonzero Chern numbers. In contrast with previous studies, where nonlocal hoppings are usually required, the Hamiltonians of…
We report the theoretical discovery of a systematic scheme to produce topological flat bands (TFBs) with arbitrary Chern numbers. We find that generically a multi-orbital high Chern number TFB model can be constructed by considering…
We propose a Haldane-like model of dice lattice analogous to graphene and explore its topological properties within the tight-binding formalism. The topological phase boundary of the system is identical to that of Haldane model of graphene…
Recent theoretical works have demonstrated various robust Abelian and non-Abelian fractional topological phases in lattice models with topological flat bands carrying Chern number C=1. Here we study hard-core bosons and interacting fermions…
We present the appearance of nearly flat band states with nonzero Chern numbers in a two-dimensional "diamond-octagon" lattice model comprising two kinds of elementary plaquette geometries, diamond and octagon, respectively. We show that…
We introduce a scheme by which flat bands with higher Chern number $\vert C\vert>1$ can be designed in ultracold gases through a coherent manipulation of Bloch bands. Inspired by quantum-optics methods, our approach consists in creating a…
We demonstrate the realization of topological band structures by exploiting the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling of dipolar interactions in combination with broken time-reversal symmetry. The system is based on polar molecules trapped in a…
Fractional Chern insulators arise in topologically nontrivial flat bands, characterized by an integer Chern number C that corresponds to the number of dissipationless edge states in the non-interacting regime. Higher Chern numbers can…
We demonstrate that flat bands with local Berry curvature arise naturally in chiral (ABC) multilayer graphene placed on a boron nitride (BN) substrate. The degree of flatness can be tuned by varying the number of graphene layers N. For N =…
We consider twisted bilayer graphene on a transition metal dichalcogenide substrate, where proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling significantly alters the eight flat bands which occur near the magic angle. The resulting band structure…
Topology and electron interactions are two central themes in modern condensed matter physics. Here we propose graphene based systems where both the band topology and interaction effects can be simply controlled with electric fields. We…
In this study, we examine the introduction of the Haldane model into the dice lattice by altering the flow between the next-nearest-neighbour sites. This breaks the lattice's inversion and time-reversal symmetries. We demonstrate the…
We discuss the low-energy limit of three-orbital Kondo-lattice and Hubbard models describing $t_{2g}$ orbitals on a triangular lattice near half-filling. We analyze how very flat bands with non-trivial topological character, a Chern number…
We report the presence of exactly and nearly flat bands with non-trivial topology in three-dimensional (3D) lattice models. We first show that an exactly flat band can be realized in a 3D lattice model characterized by a 3D topological…
The interplay between non-trivial topology and strong electron interaction can generate a variety of exotic quantum matter. Here we theoretically propose that monolayer transition metal trihalides MoF$_3$ and W$X_3$ ($X$= Cl, Br, I) have…
We show that rhombohedral four-layer graphene (4LG) nearly aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) substrate often develops nearly flat isolated low energy bands with non-zero valley Chern numbers. The bandwidths of the isolated…
Quantum anomalous Hall effect has been widely explored in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems. Here, we propose an interaction-driven paramagnetic quantum anomalous Hall effect emerging in the Fermion-Hubbard model on a dice…
The dice lattice, containing a stack of three triangular lattices, has been proposed to exhibit nontrivial flat bands with nonzero Chern numbers, but unlike the honeycomb lattice it is much less studied. By employing density-functional…
