We examine the emergence of topological Anderson insulating phases in the spinful Haldane model with Hubbard and next-neighbor density-density interactions, subject to Anderson disorder. Using finite-size exact diagonalization, we…

Fundamental insight into the nature of the quantum phase transition from a superconductor to an insulator in two dimensions, or from one plateau to the next or to an insulator in quantum Hall effect, has been revealed through the study of…

The topological trivial band of a lattice can be driven into a topological phase by disorder in the system. This so-called topological Anderson phase has been predicted and observed for uncorrelated static disorder, while in the presence of…

Recently, the impact of disorder on topological properties has attracted significant attention in photonics, especially the intriguing disorder-induced topological phase transitions in photonic topological Anderson insulators (PTAIs).…

Topological insulators are materials where current does not flow through the bulk, but along the boundaries, only. They are of particular practical importance, since it is considerably more difficult, by ``conventional'' means, to affect…

We investigate the effect of spatially correlated disorder on two-dimensional topological insulators and on the quantum spin Hall effect which the helical edge states in these systems give rise to. Our work expands the scope of previous…

We systematically investigate the topological and localization properties of a quadrupolar insulator represented by the celebrated Benalcazar-Bernevig-Hughes model in presence of a quasiperiodic disorder instilled in its hopping amplitude.…

The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit…

We find a series of topological phase transitions of increasing order, beyond the more standard second-order phase transition in a one-dimensional topological superconductor. The jumps in the order of the transitions depend on the range of…

A field theory of the Anderson transition in two dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry is developed, in which the proliferation of vortex-like topological defects is essential for…

Employing scaling analysis of the localization length, we deduce the critical exponent of the metal-topological insulator (TI) transitions induced by disorder. The obtained exponent nu~2.7 shows no conspicuous deviation from the value…

Static disorder in a noninteracting gas of electrons confined to two dimensions can drive a continuous quantum (Anderson) transition between a metallic and an insulating state when time-reversal symmetry is preserved but spin-rotation…

We investigate the interplay between disorder and superconducting pairing for a one-dimensional $p$-wave superconductor subject to slowly varying incommensurate potentials with mobility edges. With amplitude increments of the incommensurate…

We study phase transitions driven by structural disorder in noncrystalline topological insulators. We introduce a procedural generation algorithm, the Perlin noise, typically used in computer graphics, to incorporate disorder to a…

Topological behavior can be masked when disorder is present. A topological insulator, either intrinsic or interaction induced, may turn gapless when sufficiently disordered. Nevertheless, the metallic phase that emerges once a topological…

Three-dimensional topological insulators (3D-TIs) possess a specific topological order of electronic bands, resulting in gapless surface states via bulk-edge correspondence. Exotic phenomena have been realized in ferromagnetic TIs, such as…

As a superconducting thin film becomes disordered and subject to an increasing magnetic field, a point is reached when it undergoes a transition from a superconducting to an insulating state. We use the Bogoliubov-De-Gennes equations and a…

We examine the transport properties of magnetically doped topological insulator (TI) thin films subject to correlated non-magnetic disorder. For the disorder we choose a quasi-periodic potential with a random phase. We restrict the disorder…

Topological Anderson insulators (TAIs) provide a mechanism for topological phase transitions in disordered systems and have implications for quantum material design. In this work, we investigate the emergence of multiple TAIs in a…

We study the disordered topological Anderson insulator in a 2-D (square not strip) geometry. We first report the phase diagram of finite systems and then study the evolution of phase boundaries when the system size is increased to a very…
