Magic-angle helical trilayer graphene relaxes into commensurate moir\'e domains, whose topological and well-isolated set of narrow bands possess ideal characteristics for realizing robust correlated topological phases, compared with other…
We report on a topological insulating state in a heavy-fermion system away from half-filling, which is hidden within a ferromagnetic metallic phase. In this phase, the cooperation of the RKKY interaction and the Kondo effect, together with…
We develop a low-energy continuum model to describe the moir\'{e} physics of heterostructures, which is a generalization of the celebrated Bistritzer-MacDonald (BM) method [R. Bistritzer and A. H. MacDonald, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.…
Most works on pyrochlore magnets deal with the interacting spin-1/2 local moments. We here study the spin-one local moments on the pyrochlore lattice, and propose a generic interacting spin model on a pyrochlore lattice. Our spin model…
Moir\'e transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials provide an ideal playground for studying the combined interplay of strong interactions and band-topology over a range of electronic fillings. Here we investigate the panoply of…
We consider hard-core bosons on the kagome lattice in the presence of short range repulsive interactions and focus particularly on the filling factor 1/3. In the strongly interacting limit, the low energy excitations can be described by the…
The expected phenomenology of non-interacting topological band insulators (TBI) is now largely theoretically understood. However, the fate of TBIs in the presence of interactions remains an active area of research with novel,…
Topological states of matter are robust quantum phases, characterised by propagating or localised edge states in an insulating bulk. Topological boundary states can be triggered by various mechanisms, for example by strong spin-orbit…
While pyrochlore iridate thin films are theoretically predicted to possess a variety of emergent topological properties, experimental verification of these predictions can be obstructed by the challenge in thin film growth. Here we report…
While the experimental progress on three dimensional topological insulators is rapid, the development of their two dimensional counterparts has been comparatively slow, despite their technological promise. The main reason is materials…
The phase structure of 2-dimensional topological insulators under a sufficiently strong electron-electron interaction is investigated. The effective theory is constructed by extending the idea of the Kane-Mele model on the graphenelike…
Higher-order topological insulators are unusual materials that can support topologically protected states, whose dimensionality is lower than the dimensionality of the structure at least by 2. Among the most intriguing examples of such…
We predict that a family of antiperovskite materials realize a higher order topological insulator phase, characterized by a previously introduced $\mathbb{Z}_4$ index. A tight binding model and a $k\cdot p$ model are used to capture the…
We formulate and study a spin-orbital model for a family of cubic double perovskites with $d^1$ ions occupying a frustrated fcc sublattice. A variational approach and a complimentary analytical analysis reveal a rich variety of phases…
Our theoretical study unfolds the topological phase transitions (within bands of the Moir\'e super-lattice) in small angle twisted double bilayer graphene (tDBLG) under the influence of external gate voltage and intrinsic spin-orbit…
We study the phases of a spin system on the Kagome lattice with nearest-neighbor $XXZ$ interactions with anisotropy ratio $\Delta$ and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions with strength $D$. In the classical limit where the spin $S$ at each…
We investigate an interaction-driven transition between crystalline and liquid states of strongly correlated spinless fermions within topological flat bands at low density (with filling factors $\nu=1/5$, $1/7$, $1/9$). Using exact…
As the novel topological states, the higher-order topological insulators have attracted great attentions in the past years. However, their realizations in realistic materials, in particular in two dimensional systems, remains the big…
Topological insulators are new class of materials which are characterized by a bulk band gap like ordinary band insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states emerge out due to the combination of…
Topological Insulators with gapless surface states and insulating bulk in non-centrosymmetric cubic systems have been extensively explored following the discovery of two-dimensional quantum spin hall effect in zincblende HgTe. In such…
