We investigate the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on kagome lattice, making use of the variational Monte Carlo technique. An exotic quantum spin state is found to arise from a…
Following the recent observation of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect in HgTe quantum wells, an important issue is to understand the effect of impurities on transport in the QSH regime. Using linear response and renormalization group…
Motivated by the recent experimental realization of the topological Anderson insulator and research interest on the topological quasicrystal lattices, we investigate the effects of disorder on topological properties of a two-dimensional…
A quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator is a topological state of matter, in which the interior is insulating but electrical current flows along the edges of the sample, in either clockwise (right-handed) or counter-clockwise (left-handed)…
The substrate-induced topological phase transition of silience is a formidable obstacle for developing silicene-based materials and devices for compatibility with current electronics by using its topologically protected dissipationless edge…
Representative wave functions, which encode the topological properties of the spin polarized fractional quantum Hall states in the lowest Landau level, can be expressed in terms of correlation functions in conformal field theories. Until…
Based on a combination of $k \cdot p$ theory, band topology analysis and electronic structure calculations, we predict the (111) thin films of the SnTe class of three-dimensional (3D) topological crystalline insulators realize the quantum…
Inspired by the topological insulator circuit proposed and experimentally verified by Jia., et al. \cite{1}, we theoretically realized the topological Lieb lattice, a line centered square lattice with rich topological properties, in a…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of Mo and W in their 1T' crystalline phase host the quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator phase. We address the electronic properties of the QSH edge states by means of first-principles…
Topological insulators (TIs) are a novel class of materials with nontrivial surface or edge states. Time-reversal symmetry (TRS) protected TIs are characterized by the Z2 topological invariant and their helical property becomes lost in an…
We study the quantum Hall effect(QHE) on the Kagom\'{e} lattice with anisotropy in one of the hopping integrals. We find a new type of QHE characterized by the quantization rules for Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}=2ne^{2}/h$ and Landau…
Spin-polarized conducting edge currents counterpropagate in quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators and are protected against disorder-driven localizations by the time-reversal symmetry. Using these spin-currents for device applications require…
The quantum spin Hall (QSH) states discovered in an inverted band of InAs/GaSb and HgTe/CdTe quantum wells categorize them among the very superior candidates for topological insulators. In the presence of a magnetic field, these QSH states…
Of the available classes of insulators which have been shown to contain topologically non-trivial properties one of the most important is class AII, which contains systems that possess time-reversal symmetry $T$ with $T^2=-1.$ This class…
We propose a topological understanding of the quantum spin Hall state without considering any symmetries, and it follows from the gauge invariance that either the energy gap or the spin spectrum gap needs to close on the system edges, the…
We study the transition between sharp and smooth density distributions at the edges of Quantum Hall Liquids in the presence of interactions. We find that, for strong confining potentials, the edge of a $\nu=1$ liquid is described by the…
Quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect with great promise for the potential application in spintronics and quantum computing has attracted extensive research interest from both theoretical and experimental researchers. Here, we predict monolayer…
Topological insulators (TIs) are promising for achieving dissipationless transport devices due to the robust gapless states inside the insulating bulk gap. However, currently realized 2D TIs, quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, suffer from…
Motivated by the topologically insulating (TI) circuit of capacitors and inductors proposed and tested in arXiv:1309.0878, we present a related circuit with less elements per site. The normal mode frequency matrix of our circuit is…
Topological systems are inherently robust to disorder and continuous perturbations, resulting in dissipation-free edge transport of electrons in quantum solids, or reflectionless guiding of photons and phonons in classical wave systems…
