Time reversal symmetric topological insulators are generically robust with respect to weak local interaction, unless symmetry breaking transitions take place. Using dynamical mean-field theory we solve an interacting model of quantum spin…
The interaction driven transition between quantum spin-Hall and Mott insulators in the Bernevig, Hughes and Zhang model is studied by dynamical cluster approximation, and found to be accompanied by the emergence of Green's function zeros…
We study the phase diagram of the inverted InAs/GaSb bilayer quantum wells. For small tunneling amplitude between the layers, we find that the system is prone to formation of an s-wave exciton condensate phase, where the spin-structure of…
Interaction induced topological states remain one of the fascinating phases in condensed matter physics. The exciton condensate has recently sparked renewed interest due to the discovery of new candidate materials and its driving force to…
We theoretically study the quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) in a perpendicular magnetic field. In the noninteracting case, the QSHI with space inversion and/or uniaxial spin rotation symmetry undergoes a topological transition into a…
The spontaneous interlayer phase coherent (111) state of bi-layer Quantum Hall system at filling factor $\nu=1$ may be viewed as a condensate of interlayer particle-hole pairs or excitons. We show in this paper that when the layers are…
Excitons are spin integer particles that are predicted to condense into a coherent quantum state at sufficiently low temperature, and exciton condensates can be realized at much higher temperature than condensates of atoms because of strong…
Quantum spin-hall insulator (QSHI) processes nontrivial topology. We notice that the electronic structures of some particular QSHIs are favorable for realization of excitonic insulators (EIs). Using first-principles many-body perturbation…
Band-inverted electron-hole bilayers support quantum spin Hall insulator and exciton condensate phases. We investigate such a bilayer in an external magnetic field. We show that the interlayer correlations lead to formation of a helical…
We study the properties of two dimensional topological spin hall insulators which arise through spontaneous breakdown of spin symmetry in systems that are spin rotation invariant. Such a phase breaks spin rotation but not time reversal…
Excitons are the neutral quasiparticles that form when Coulomb interactions create bound states between electrons and holes. Due to their bosonic nature, excitons are expected to condense and exhibit superfluidity at sufficiently low…
We study the many-body physics in thin film topological band insulator, where the inter-edge Coulomb interaction can lead to an exciton condensation transition. We investigate the universality class of the exciton condensation quantum…
We study the $S_z$-conserving quantum spin Hall insulator in the presence of Hubbard $U$ from a field theory point view. The main findings are the following. (1) For arbitrarily small U the edges possess power-law correlated…
Topological phases of electrons such as topological insulators and quantum Hall states typically require strong spin-orbit coupling or magnetic fields. In this study, we consider an electron system coupled to a spin system, where electrons…
In this paper we review some connections recently discovered between topological insulators and certain classes of quantum spin liquids, focusing on two and three spatial dimensions. In two dimensions we show the integer quantum Hall effect…
Topological insulators are a broad class of unconventional materials that are insulating in the interior but conduct along the edges. This edge transport is topologically protected and dissipationless. Until recently, all existing…
In topological insulators, spin-orbit coupling and time-reversal symmetry combine to form a novel state of matter predicted to have exotic physical properties.
Tunable exciton condensates in two dimensional electron gas systems under strong magnetic field exhibits anomalous Hall transport owing to mutual Coulomb coupling, and have attracted a lot of research activity. Here, we explore another…
We discuss devices for detection of the topological insulator phase based on the two-path electron interference. For that purpose we consider buckled silicene for which a local energy gap can be opened by vertical electric field to close…
Quantum Hall systems host quasiparticles demonstrating correlated electron physics and non-trivial quantum statistics. Excitonic phases, archetypical for interaction effect, have attracted significant interest in recent years in…
