Gated heterostructures containing bilayer graphene with staggered sublattice potentials are investigated by tight binding model with Rashba spin-orbital coupling and Hubbard interaction. The topological phase diagrams depend on the…
We predict topological electron crystals driven by the interplay of interlayer Coulomb attraction and topological miniband physics in bilayer graphene--Mott insulator heterostructures. Charge transfer creates a charge neutral, mass…
The exploration of topological phases remains a cutting-edge research frontier, driven by their promising potential for next-generation electronic and quantum technologies. In this work, we employ first-principles calculations and…
We propose an effective model for the study of the interplay between correlation and topology by decorating the Kane-Mele model with a set of localized interacting orbitals hybridized to just one sublattice, breaking the inversion symmetry.…
Driving quantum phase transitions in the 3D topological insulators offers pathways to tuning the topological states and their properties. We use DFT-based calculations to systematically investigate topological phase transitions in…
Intrinsic magnetic topological insulators from MnBi2Te4 family promise realization of axion insulator, a theoretically predicted state of matter capable to mutually convert electric and magnetic signals, and whose properties are reminiscent…
Topologically protected edge states are the highlight feature of an interface between non-equivalent insulators. The robustness/sensitivity of these states to local single-particle perturbations is well understood, while their stability in…
We propose a tight binding model for the quantum spin Hall system on triangular optical lattice and we determined the edge state spectrum which contains gap traversing states as the hallmark of $\mathds{Z}_{2}$ topological insulator. The…
Topological quantum matter is characterized by non-trivial global invariants of the bulk which induce gapless electronic states at its boundaries. A case in point are two-dimensional topological insulators (2D-TI) which host one-dimensional…
We report a continuous phase transition between quantum-anomalous-Hall and trivial-insulator phases in a magnetic topological insulator upon magnetization rotation. The Hall conductivity transits from one plateau of quantized Hall…
The insulator-bad metal transition observed in the Jahn-Teller (JT) magnets orthonickelates RNiO$_3$ (R = rare earth or yttrium Y) is considered to be a canonical example of the Mott transition, traditionally described in the framework of…
It is shown that the electric supercurrent flows in a Z_2 topological insulator with U_em(1) X U_z(1) (electromagnetic and spin) gauge symmetries. When U_z(1) is broken, a dissipationless electric current is still possible to flow locally…
We introduce a dinstint approach to engineer a topologically protected surface state of a topological insulator. By covering the surface of a topological insulator, Bi2Te2Se, with a Bi monolayer film, the original surface state is…
Moire superlattices of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers have been shown to host correlated electronic states, which arises from the interplay of emergent moire potential and long-range Coulomb interactions. Here we…
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…
Twist-engineering of topological phases in two-dimensional materials offers a powerful route to modulate electronic structure beyond conventional strain or chemical control. In particular, group 15 (pnictogens) monolayers such as bismuthene…
The electronic states of a single Bi(111) bilayer and its edges, suggested as a two dimensional topological insulator, are investigated by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and first-principles calculations. Well-ordered bilayer films…
We demonstrate that sliding motion between two layers of the newly discovered ferroelectric and topologically trivial bismuth (Bi) monolayer [Nature 617, 67 (2023)] can induce a sequence of topological phase transitions, alternating between…
We investigate the crossover regime from three dimensional topological insulators $Bi_2Te_3$ and $Bi_2Se_3$ to two dimensional topological insulators with quantum spin Hall effect when the layer thickness is reduced. Using both analytical…
We study the effects of short-ranged interactions on the $Z_2$ topological insulator phase, also known as the quantum spin Hall phase, in the Kane-Mele model at half-filling with staggered potentials which explicitly breaks the discrete…
