Recent theory and experiment have revealed that strong spin-orbit coupling can have dramatic qualitative effects on the band structure of weakly interacting solids. Indeed, it leads to a distinct phase of matter, the topological band…
1$T$-TaS$_2$ is the only insulating transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with an odd number of electrons per unit cell. This insulating state is non-magnetic, making it a potential spin-liquid candidate. The unusual electronic behavior…
We present analysis of a single channel interacting quantum wire problem in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The spin-orbit coupling breaks the spin-rotational symmetry from SU(2) to U(1) and breaks inversion symmetry. The low-energy…
Strong electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) provide two non-trivial threads to condensed matter physics. When these two strands of physics come together, a plethora of quantum phenomena with novel topological order have been…
Topological insulators are found in materials that have elements with strong spin orbit interaction. However, electron Coulomb repulsion also potentially generates the topological insulators as well as Chern insulators by the mechanism of…
We discuss phenomena arising from the combined influence of electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling, with an emphasis on emergent quantum phases and transitions in heavy transition metal compounds with 4d and 5d elements. A common…
We investigate the emergence and transformation of pinch-point singularities in the excitation spectrum of electronic flat band systems on kagome and pyrochlore lattices with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Coulomb interactions. While pinch…
The possibility of realizing topological insulators by spontaneous formation of electronic superstructure is theoretically investigated in a minimal two-orbital model including both the spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations on a…
Motivated by the abundance of symmetry breaking states in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene and other two-dimensional materials, we study superconducting (SC) and charge orders in two-dimensional topological flat bands in the strong…
Chiral symmetry in energy bands appears as perfectly symmetric anti-bonding and bonding pairs of energy levels. It has only been observed in a few classes of models with a bipartite lattice structure or Bogoliubov-de-Gennes systems having…
Flat bands result in a divergent density of states and high sensitivity to interactions in physical systems. While such bands are well known in systems under magnetic fields, their realization and behavior in zero-field settings remain…
Topological flat bands at the Fermi level offer a promising platform to study a variety of intriguing correlated phase of matter. Here we present band engineering in the twisted orbital-active bilayers with spin-orbit coupling. The symmetry…
The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade ago has revolutionized modern condensed matter physics. Today, the field of topological states of matter is one of the most active and fruitful…
We derive the effective charge- and current-density operators for the strong-coupling limit of a single-band Mott insulator in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and show that the spin-orbit contribution to the effective charge density…
The presence of spin-orbit coupling drives the anomalous magnetotransport at oxide interfaces and forms the basis for numerous intriguing properties of these 2D electron systems, such as topologically protected phases or anti-localization.…
The interplay of spin-orbit interactions and Coulomb correlations has become a hot topic in condensed matter theory. Here, we review recent advances in dynamical mean-field theory-based electronic structure calculations for iridates and…
We explicitly account for electron-electron interactions when modeling low-dimensional helical organic molecules. We show that competition between various hopping channels, together with interaction-induced double- and superexchange…
We study \textit{ab initio} a pyrochlore compound, CsW$_{2}$O$_{6}$, which exhibits a yet unexplained metal-insulator transition. We find that (1) the reported low-$T$ structure is likely inaccurate and the correct structure has a twice…
The delicate interplay of electronic charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom is in the heart of many novel phenomena across the transition metal oxide family. Here, by combining high- resolution angle resolved photoemission…
Understanding the interplay of strong correlation and temperature in nodal-line semimetals can offer novel ways to control spin currents. Here we consider the 3d-5d double-perovskite Ba$_{2}$CoWO$_{6}$, which features…
