Topologically non-trivial electronic structures can give rise to a range of unusual physical phenomena, and the interplay of band topology with other effects such as electronic correlations and magnetism requires further exploration. The…
Electron correlation and topology are two central threads of modern condensed matter physics. Semiconductor moir\'e materials provide a highly tunable platform for studies of electron correlation. Correlation-driven phenomena, including the…
We study the phase diagram of interacting spinless fermions on the honeycomb bilayer at charge neutrality using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In the noninteracting limit, the low-energy spectrum features quadratically…
Zitterbewegung, a force-free trembling motion first predicted for relativistic fermions like electrons, was an unexpected consequence of the Dirac equation's unification of quantum mechanics and special relativity. Though the oscillatory…
Recent observations of slow magneto-oscillations in some underdoped cuprate superconductors are one of the most striking discoveries in the field of superconductivity since many probes of underdoped cuprates clearly point to a non…
The unconventional (half-integer) quantum Hall effect for a single species of Dirac fermions is analyzed. We discuss possible experimental measurements of the half-integer Hall conductance $g_{xy}$ of topological insulator surface states…
Lateral superlattices have attracted major interest as this may allow one to modify spectra of two dimensional electron systems and, ultimately, create materials with tailored electronic properties. Previously, it proved difficult to…
We study the non-relativistic limit of a paradigmatic model in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, the two-dimensional Dirac oscillator. Remarkably, we find a novel kind of Zitterbewegung which persists in this non-relativistic regime, and…
We report experimental measurements and theoretical analysis of Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in a Dirac cone system: the a-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 organic metal under hydrostatic pressure. The measured SdH oscillations reveal anomalies at…
Kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_5$~(A = K, Rb, Cs) are recently discovered platforms featuring an unusual charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity. The electronic band structure of a kagome lattice can host both flat bands as well as…
Zitterbewegung is a striking consequence of relativistic quantum mechanics which predicts that free Dirac electrons exhibit a rapid trembling motion even in the absence of external forces. The trembling motion of an electron results from…
The half-quantized Hall conductance is characteristic of quantum systems with parity anomaly. Here we investigate topological and transport properties of a class of parity anomalous semimetals, in which massive Dirac fermions coexist with…
In the search of fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect, the conventional wisdom is to start from a flat Chern band isolated from the rest of the Hilbert space by band gaps, so that many-body interaction can be projected to a…
We report a transport, thermodynamic, and spectroscopic study of the recently identified topological semiconductor ZrTe$_5$ with a focus on elucidating the connections between its band structure and unusual thermoelectric properties. Using…
The quantum chiral anomaly enables a nearly dissipationless current in the presence of chirality imbalance and magnetic field -- this is the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME), observed recently in Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Here we propose to…
By measuring the de Hass-van Alphen effect and calculating the electronic band structure, we have investigated the bulk Fermi surface of the BaSn3 superconductor with a transition temperature of ~ 4.4 K. Striking de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA)…
We have investigated the weak antilocalization (WAL) in the pressurized Dirac semimetal $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ across a correlation-driven quantum phase transition to a charge-ordered insulating state and evaluated the phase coherence…
The electronic anomalous Hall effect (AHE), where charge carriers acquire a velocity component orthogonal to an applied electric field, is one of the most fundamental and widely studied phenomena in physics. There are several different AHE…
In the Dirac theory for the motion of free relativistic electrons, highly oscillatory components appear in the time evolution of physical observables such as position, velocity, and spin angular momentum. This effect is known as…
This note revisits the semi-classical theory of quantum oscillations in hybridization-gap insulators, and shows that the physical origin of the oscillations, at $T=0$ K, is a sudden change in the diamagnetic moment of each Landau level as…
