Over the past decades, high-harmonic spectroscopy (HHS) has emerged as a powerful tool for all-optical probing of topological properties of solids. There are outstanding questions regarding universal nature of the spectral features of…
Two-dimensional (2D) generalization of the Su-Schriffer-Heeger (SSH) model serves as a platform for exploring higher-order topological insulators (HOTI). We investigate this model in a magnetic field which interpolates two models studied so…
We investigate a generalized multi-orbital tight-binding model on a triangular lattice, a system prevalent in a wide range of two-dimensional materials, and particularly relevant for simulating transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. We…
The higher-order corner modes for quantum anomalous Hall insulators in $C_3$ symmetry broken honeycomb lattice have been engineered recently. Here we consider an extended Haldane model in presence of inversion symmetry breaking sub-lattice…
Recently, correlated physics such as superconductivity and insulator at commensurate fractional electron fillings has been discovered in several different systems with Moire superlattice and narrow electron bands near charge neutrality.…
We theoretically investigate a periodically driven semimetal based on a square lattice. The possibility of engineering both Floquet Topological Insulator featuring Floquet edge states and Floquet higher order topological insulating phase,…
We show that a slab of a three-dimensional inversion-symmetric higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) in class A is a 2D Chern insulator, and that in class AII is a 2D $Z_2$ topological insulator. We prove it by considering a process of…
The Heisenberg-Kitaev (HK) model on the triangular lattice is conceptually interesting for its interplay of geometric and exchange frustration. HK models are also thought to capture the essential physics of the spin-orbital entanglement in…
We propose magnetic second-order topological insulators (SOTIs). First, we study a three-dimensional model. It is pointed out that the previously proposed topological hinge insulator has actually surface states along the [001] direction in…
We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of a modified spinless Haldane-Hubbard model with broken threefold rotational symmetry, employing exact diagonalization calculations. The interplay of asymmetry, interactions, and topology gives…
Three-dimensional topological (crystalline) insulators are materials with an insulating bulk, but conducting surface states which are topologically protected by time-reversal (or spatial) symmetries. Here, we extend the notion of…
In the past years classical wave-systems have constituted an excellent platform for emulating complex quantum phenomena. This approach has been especially fruitful in demonstrating topological phenomena in photonics and acoustics: from…
Using a systematic relation between topological gapless phases in three dimensions and topological gapped phases in two dimensions, we identify four types of higher-order topological semimetals or nodal superconductors (HOTS), hosting (i)…
In principle the stacking of different two-dimensional (2D) materials allows the construction of 3D systems with entirely new electronic properties. Here we propose to realize topological crystalline insulators (TCI) protected by mirror…
In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in higher-order topological phases (HOTPs) across various disciplines within the field of physics. These unique phases are characterized by their ability to harbor topological protected…
Traditional topological materials belong to different Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry classes (AZSCs) depending on their non-spatial symmetries. Here we introduce the notion of hybrid symmetry class topological insulators (HSCTIs): A fusion of…
In this work we develop a theoretical framework for the control of corner modes in higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) featuring long-range hoppings and diverse geometries, enabling precise tunability of their spatial positions.…
Based on first-principles calculations combined with theoretical analysis, we identify a family of monolayer chromium-based group-IV chalcogenides as a new class of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs).…
Second-order topological insulators (SOTI) exhibit protected gapless boundary states at their hinges or corners. In this paper, we propose a generic means to construct SOTIs in static and Floquet systems by coupling one-dimensional…
It is well known that a Bosonic Mott insulator can be realized by condensing vortices of a bo- son condensate. Usually, a vortex becomes an anti-vortex (and vice-versa) under time reversal symmetry, and the condensation of vortices results…
