Topological Mott insulator (TMI) with spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking and nonzero Chern number has been discovered in a real-space effective model for twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) at 3/4 filling in the strong coupling limit.…
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…
The orbital degrees of freedom play a pivotal role in understanding fundamental phenomena in solid-state materials as well as exotic quantum states of matter including orbital superfluidity and topological semimetals. Despite tremendous…
Quantum geometry of electronic wavefunctions results in fascinating topological phenomena. A prominent example is the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in which a Hall voltage arises in the absence of an applied magnetic field. The AHE…
A photonic Floquet topological insulator has previously been experimentally realized in an array of evanescently-coupled helical waveguides. In the topological regime probed by that experiment, the chirality of the single topological edge…
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are unique materials hosting topologically protected states, whose dimensionality is at least by a factor of 2 lower than that of the bulk. Topological states in such insulators may be strongly…
One of the hallmarks of bulk topology is the existence of robust boundary localized states. For instance, a conventional $d$ dimensional topological system hosts $d{-}1$ dimensional surface modes, which are protected by non-spatial…
Synchronized rotation of unit cells in a periodic structure provides a novel design perspective for manipulation of band topology. We then design a two-dimensional version of higher-order topological insulators (HOTI), by such rotation in a…
Based on first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we predict atomically thin ($1-N$ layers) 2H group-VIB TMDs $MX_2$ ($M$ = Mo, W; $X$ = S, Se, Te) are large-gap higher-order topological crystalline insulators protected by $C_3$…
The higher order topological insulator (HOTI) has enticed enormous research interests owing to its novelty in supporting gapless states along the hinges of the crystal. Despite several theoretical predictions, enough experimental…
The discovery of topological phases has recently led to a paradigm shift in condensed matter physics, and facilitated breakthroughs in engineered photonics and acoustic metamaterials. Topological insulators (TIs) enable the generation of…
Topological insulators are states of matter distinguished by the presence of symmetry protected metallic boundary states. These edge modes have been characterised in terms of transport and spectroscopic measurements, but a thermodynamic…
Photonic topological materials with a broken time reversal symmetry are characterized by nontrivial topological phases, such that they do not support propagation in the bulk region but forcibly support a nontrivial net number of…
We propose that three-dimensional layered octagonal quasicrystals can host magnetic-field-tunable M\"{o}bius insulators and various higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs), enabled by the interplay of quasicrystalline symmetry and…
We have studied the one-dimensional $p$-wave periodic Anderson model at finite temperature with the help of the numerically exact determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the topological Haldane phase established for…
We investigate states on the surface of strong and weak topological insulators and superconductors that have been gapped by a symmetry breaking term. The surface of a strong 3D topological insulator gapped by a magnetic material is well…
Two new recently proposed classes of topological phases, namely fractons and higher order topological insulators (HOTIs), share at least superficial similarities. The wide variety of proposals for these phases calls for a universal field…
We consider a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) with on-site double-well potentials and study the effect of nearest-neighbor repulsion and cavity-mediated long-range interactions by calculating the ground-state phase diagrams with…
Topologically nontrivial Haldane phase is theoretically proposed to be realized in the 1/3-magnetization ($M$) plateau of spin-1/2 trimer systems. However, the spin excitation gap, typical characteristic of Haldane phase, is not yet…
In condensed matter physics many features can be understood in terms of their topological properties. Here we report evidence of a topological quantum transition driven by the charge-phonon coupling in the spinless Haldane model on a…
