We demonstrate a generic mechanism to realize topological flat minibands by confining massive Dirac fermions in a periodic moir\'e potential, which can be achieved in a heterobilayer of transition metal dichalcogenides. We show that the…

Continuous quantum phase transitions that are beyond the conventional paradigm of fluctuations of a symmetry breaking order parameter are challenging for theory. These phase transitions often involve emergent deconfined gauge fields at the…

Vortex lines, known as topological defects, are cable of trapping Majorana modes in superconducting topological materials. Previous studies have primarily focused on topological bands with conventional s-wave pairing. However, topological…

The relation between thermodynamic phase transitions in classical systems and topological changes in their configuration space is discussed for two physical models and contains the first exact analytic computation of a topologic invariant…

We propose a Haldane-like model of dice lattice analogous to graphene and explore its topological properties within the tight-binding formalism. The topological phase boundary of the system is identical to that of Haldane model of graphene…

We investigate the topological properties of a two-chain quantum ladder with uneven legs, i.e. the two chains differ in their periods by a factor of two. Such an uneven ladder presents rich band structures classified by the closure of…

We present a real-space view of one-dimensional (1D) to three-dimensional (3D) topological materials with 13 representative samples selected from each class, including 1D trans-polyacetylene, two-dimensional (2D) graphene, and 3D…

Topological mosaic pattern (TMP) can be formed in two-dimensional (2D) moir\'e superlattices, a set of periodic and spatially separated domains with distinct topologies give rise to periodic edge states on the domain walls. In this study,…

The recent discovery of a topological phase transition in IV-VI narrow-gap semiconductors has revitalized the decades-old interest in the bulk band inversion occurring in these materials. Here we systematically study the (001) surface…

Topological phases of matter have revolutionised the fundamental understanding of band theory and hold great promise for next-generation technologies such as low-power electronics or quantum computers. Single-gap topologies have been…

The effect of strain in zigzag ribbons of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides with induced superconductivity is studied using a minimal 3-band tight-binding model. The unstrained system shows a topological phase with Majorana zero…

Time-dependent perturbations can drive a trivial two-dimensional band insulator into a quantum Hall-like phase, with protected nonequilibrium states bound to its edges. We propose an experiment to probe the existence of these topological…

We present first-principles calculations of electronic structures of a class of two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structures of group-V binary compounds. Our results show these new 2D materials are stable semiconductors with direct or indirect…

We show that topology can protect exponentially localized, zero energy edge modes at critical points between one-dimensional symmetry protected topological phases. This is possible even without gapped degrees of freedom in the bulk ---in…

Frames, or lattices consisting of mass points connected by rigid bonds or central force springs, are important model constructs that have applications in such diverse fields as structural engineering, architecture, and materials science.…

Topological insulators and topological superconductors display various topological phases that are characterized by different Chern numbers or by gapless edge states. In this work we show that various quantum information methods such as the…

Moir\'e patterns are common in Van der Waals heterostructures and can be used to apply periodic potentials to elementary excitations. We show that the optical absorption spectrum of transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers is profoundly…

Exploring the significant impacts of topological charge on the holographic phase transitions and conductivity we start from an Einstein - Maxwell system coupled with a charged scalar field in Anti - de Sitter spacetime. In our set up, the…

Weyl semimetals are examples of a new class of topological states of matter which are gapless in the bulk with protected surface states. Their low energy sector is characterized by massless chiral fermions which are robust against…

We use first-principles methods to reveal that in ZrTe$_5$, a layered van der Waals material like graphite, atomic displacements corresponding to five of the six zone-center A$_g$ (symmetry-preserving) phonon modes can drive a topological…
