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…
We study the band structure of phases induced by depositing bilayer graphene on a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer. Tight-binding and low-energy effective Hamiltonian calculations show that it is possible to induce topologically…
We investigate the role of quantum fluctuations in topological quantum phase transitions of quantum spin Hall insulators and quantum anomalous Hall insulators. Employing the variational cluster approximation to obtain the single-particle…
Topological flat bands (TFBs) are increasingly recognized as an important paradigm to study topological effects in the context of strong correlation physics. As a representative example, recently it has been theoretically proposed that the…
The topology of the Brillouin zone, foundational in topological physics, is always assumed to be a torus. We theoretically report the construction of Brillouin real projective plane ($\mathrm{RP}^2$) and the appearance of quadrupole…
We generalize the topological phase diagram of magnetic topological insulator (TI) thin films in an extended parameter space comprising out-of-plane (OP) and in-plane (IP) exchange fields in the presence of structural inversion asymmetry…
A general mechanism is presented by which topological physics arises in strongly correlated systems without flat bands. Starting from a charge transfer insulator, topology emerges when the charge transfer energy between the cation and anion…
We study symmetry breaking quantum phase transitions in topological insulators and superconductors where the single electron gap remains open in the bulk. Specifically, we consider spontaneous breaking of the symmetry that protects the…
The canonical understanding of quantum oscillation in metals is challenged by the observation of de Haas-van Alphen effect in an insulator, SmB$_{6}$ [Tan \emph{et al}, Science {\bf349}, 287 (2015)]. Based on a two-band model with inverted…
A key feature of the topological surface state under a magnetic field is the presence of the zeroth Landau level at the zero energy. Nonetheless, it has been challenging to probe the zeroth Landau level due to large electron-hole puddles…
The emergence of topologically non-trivial flat bands in moir\'e materials provides an opportunity to explore the interplay between topological physics and correlation effects, leading to the recent experimental realization of interacting…
Topological phononic insulators are the counterpart of three-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulators in phononic systems and, as such, their topological surfaces are characterized by Dirac cone-shaped gapless edge states arising as a…
The quantum Hall effect is generally understood for free electron gases, in which topologically protected edge states between Landau levels (LLs) form conducting channels at the edge of the sample. In periodic crystals, the LLs are…
Double-layer quantum Hall systems with spontaneous broken symmetry can exhibit a novel manybody quantum Hall effect due to the strong interlayer coherence. When the layer separation becomes close to the critical value, quantum fluctuations…
We construct a minimal four-band model for the two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators and quantum anomalous Hall insulators based on the $p_x$- and $p_y$-orbital bands in the honeycomb lattice. The multiorbital structure allows the…
Chern insulator is a building block of many topological quantum matters, ranging from quantum spin Hall insulators to fractional Chern insulators. Here, we discuss a new type of insulator, which consists of two half filled ordinary Chern…
The realization of robust quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) phases at elevated temperatures remains a central challenge in condensed matter physics. While quadratic band crossing points (QBCP) provide a promising route towards QAH states,…
We study the entanglement spectrum of noninteracting band insulators, which can be computed from the two-point correlation function, when restricted to one part of the system. In particular, we analyze a type of partitioning of the system…
The topological quantum field-effect transition in buckled 2D-Xenes can potentially be engineered to enable sub-thermionic transistor operation coupled with dissipationless ON-state conduction. Substantive device design strategies to…
One-dimensional all-bands-flat lattices are networks with all bands being flat and highly degenerate. They can always be diagonalized by a finite sequence of local unitary transformations parameterized by a set of angles \(\theta_{i}\). In…
