We present evidence that two dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of random Abelian gauge potential exhibit a phase transition when the disorder strength exceeds a certain critical value. We argue that this phase transition has novel…
We propose a resolution of the renormalization group flow for the disordered Dirac fermion theories describing the quantum Hall transition (QHT) and spin Quantum Hall transition (SQHT), which previously revealed no perturbative fixed points…
Four-component massive and massless Dirac fermions in the presence of long range Coulomb interaction and chemical potential disorder exhibit striking fermionic quantum criticality. For an odd number of flavors of Dirac fermions, the sign of…
We study the consequences of random mass, random scalar potential and random vector potential on the line of clean fixed points between integer/fractional quantum Hall states and an insulator. This line of fixed points was first identified…
Interaction driven symmetry breaking in a metallic (doped) Dirac system can manifest in the spontaneous gap generation at the nodal point buried below the Fermi level. Across this transition linear conductivity remains finite making its…
The interaction-driven quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator has been sought for a long time in a Dirac semimetal with linear band touching points at the Fermi level. By combining exact diagonalization, density matrix renormalization…
Recent high-precision results for the critical exponent of the localization length at the integer quantum Hall (IQH) transition differ considerably between experimental ($\nu_\text{exp} \approx 2.38$) and numerical ($\nu_\text{CC} \approx…
Progress in the understanding of quantum critical properties of itinerant electrons has been hindered by the lack of effective models which are amenable to controlled analytical and numerically exact calculations. Here we establish that the…
The surface states of topological insulators, which behave as charged massless Dirac fermions, are studied in the presence of a quantizing uniform magnetic field. Using the method of D.H. Lee[1], analytical formula satisfied by the energy…
Quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions is an effective gauge theory for the so called algebraic quantum liquids. A new type of such a liquid, the algebraic charge liquid, has been proposed recently in the context of deconfined quantum…
From transfer-matrix calculation of localization lengths and their finite-size scaling analyses, we evaluate critical exponents of the Anderson metal-insulator transition in three dimensional (3D) orthogonal class with particle-hole…
Two-dimensional (2D) disordered superconductor (SC) in class D exhibits a disorder-induced quantum multicritical phenomenon among diffusive thermal metal (DTM), topological superconductor (TS), and conventional localized (AI) phases. To…
Recently, in an attempt to study disordered criticality in Quantum Hall systems and $d$-wave superconductivity, it was found that two dimensional random Dirac fermion systems contain a line of critical points which is connected to the pure…
The integer quantum Hall to insulator transition (IQHIT) is a paradigmatic quantum critical point. Key aspects of this transition, however, remain mysterious, due to the simultaneous effects of quenched disorder and strong interactions. We…
A topological concern is addressed in view of the extensively and intensively studied topological phases of condensed matter. In this realm, the phases with topological order cannot be characterized by symmetry alone. Moreover, the relevant…
Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac fermions occur ubiquitously in condensed matter systems from topological phases to quantum critical points. Since the advent of topological semimetals, where the dispersion is often tilted around the band crossing…
We study the quantum Hall effect in the surface states of topological insulator in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field in the framework of edge states. Motion of Dirac fermions will form descrete Landau levels, among which a…
Electronic properties of materials are commonly described by quasiparticles that behave as non-relativistic electrons with a finite mass and obey the Schroedinger equation. Here we report a condensed matter system where electron transport…
A key problem in the field of quantum criticality is to understand the nature of quantum phase transitions in systems of interacting itinerant fermions, motivated by experiments on a variety of strongly correlated materials. Much attention…
We investigate the first-order correction to the anomalous Hall conductivity of 2D massive Dirac fermions arising from electron-electron interactions. In a fully gapped system in the limit of zero temperature, we find that this correction…
