Isolated flat bands with significantly quenched kinetic energy of electrons could give rise to exotic strongly correlated states from electron-electron interactions. More intriguingly, the interplay between topology and flat bands can…
Two-dimensional topological insulators (2DTI) have attracted increasing attention during the past few years. New 2DTI with increasing larger spin-orbit coupling (SOC) gaps have been predicted by theoretical calculations and some of them…
Cr2Ge2Te6 has been of interest for decades, as it is one of only a few ferromagnetic insulators. Recently, this material has been revisited due to its potential as a substrate for Bi2Te3, a topological insulator. This enables the…
The plethora of recent discoveries in the field of topological electronic insulators has inspired a search for boson systems with similar properties. There are predictions that ferromagnets on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice may host…
Topological insulators are most frequently constructed using lattices with specific degeneracies in their linear spectra, such as Dirac points. For a broad class of lattices, such as honeycomb ones, these points and associated Dirac cones…
We study the photon-dressed electronic band structure of topological insulator thin films which could be also doped doped by magnetic impurities in response to an off-resonance time-periodic electromagnetic field. The thin films irradiated…
We study the orbital Hall response in buckled two-dimensional Dirac materials using a unified framework that includes an antiferromagnetic exchange field, a perpendicular electric field, and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. We show that the…
In the pursuit of advanced ceramic materials with exceptional irradiation-resistance and high-temperature tolerance for nuclear applications, compositionally complex carbides (CCCs) have emerged as a highly promising class of candidate…
In the research of the topological band phases, the conventional wisdom is to start from the crystalline translational symmetry systems. Nevertheless, the translational symmetry is not always a necessary condition for the energy bands. Here…
We report the temperature evolution of the Dirac band in semiconducting zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe$_5$) using magneto-infrared spectroscopy. We find that the band gap is temperature independent at low temperatures and increases with…
This paper presents a theory of interaction-induced band-flattening in strongly correlated electron systems. We begin by illustrating an inherent connection between flat bands and index theorems, and presenting a generic prescription for…
When the electron-phonon coupling is quadratic in the phonon coordinates, electrons can pair to form bipolarons due to phonon zero-point fluctuations, a purely quantum effect. We study superconductivity originating from this pairing…
Magnetoresistance in many samples of Dirac semimetal and topological insulator displays non-monotonic behaviors over a wide range of magnetic field. Here a formula of magnetoconductivity is presented for massless and massive Dirac fermions…
Topological Insulators are the best thermoelectric materials involving a sophisticated physics beyond their solid state and electronic structure. We show that exists a topological contribution to the thermoelectric effect that arise between…
Based on recently proposed anti-ferromagnetic spin fluctuation exchange models for $d_{x^2-y^2}$-superconductors, we show that coupling to harmonic phonons {\it{cannot}} account for the observed isotope effect in the cuprate high-$T_c$…
Topological insulators are characterized by a nontrivial band topology driven by the spin-orbit coupling. To fully explore the fundamental science and application of topological insulators, material realization is indispensable. Here we…
The topological nature of topological insulators are related to the symmetries present in the material, for example, quantum spin Hall effect can be observed in topological insulators with time reversal symmetry, while broken time reversal…
Recently, the field of strongly correlated electrons has begun an intense search for a correlation induced topological insulating phase. An example is the quadratic band touching point which arises in a checkerboard lattice at half-filling,…
We report on a temperature-induced transition from a conventional semiconductor to a two-dimensional topological insulator investigated by means of magnetotransport experiments on HgTe/CdTe quantum well structures. At low temperatures, we…
The interplay between symmetry and topology leads to a rich variety of electronic topological phases, protecting states such as the topological insulators and Dirac semimetals. Previous results, like the Fu-Kane parity criterion for…
