We present a paradoxical finding that, in the vicinity of a topological phase transition in a quantum anomalous Hall system (Chern insulator), topology nearly always (except when the system obeys charge-conjugation symmetry) results in a…
Under suitable conditions, some twisted graphene multilayers and transition-metal dichalcogenides become Chern insulators, exhibiting the anomalous quantum Hall effect and orbital magnetization due to spontaneous valley polarization. We…
In spin torque magnetic memories, electrically actuated spin currents are used to switch a magnetic bit. Typically, these require a multilayer geometry including both a free ferromagnetic layer and a second layer providing spin injection.…
We investigate nonperturbatively the effect of a magnetic dopant impurity on the edge transport of a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator. We show that for a strongly coupled magnetic dopant located near the edge of a system, a pair of…
We propose a two-dimensional non-Hermitian Chern insulator with inversion symmetry, which is anisotropic and has staggered gain and loss in both x and y directions. In this system, conventional bulk-boundary correspondence holds. The Chern…
A recent experiment observes a series of quantum spin Hall effects in transition metal dichalcogenide moir\'e MoTe$_2$ [K. Kang, et. al, Nature 628, 522-526 (2024)]. Among them, the vanishing Hall signal at the filling factor $\nu=3$…
Antimonene is a novel two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting material of group V elements proposed in a recent literature [Zhang et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 54, 1-5 (2015)]. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrated that the…
Non-coplanar magnetic order in low-carrier-density semiconductors provides a platform on which spin-charge coupling can reshape the electronic structure and induce nontrivial topological phases. Motivated by the recent discovery of the…
A topological insulator doped with random magnetic impurities is studied. The system is modelled by the Kane-Mele model with a random spin exchange between conduction electrons and magnetic dopants. The dynamical mean field theory for…
Topological magnetic insulators host chiral gapless edge modes. In the presence of strong interaction effects, the spin of these modes may fractionalize. Studying a 2D array of coupled insulating spin-1/2 chains, we show how spatially…
We consider twisted bilayer graphene on a transition metal dichalcogenide substrate, where proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling significantly alters the eight flat bands which occur near the magic angle. The resulting band structure…
We show a tight-binding model for double perovskite monolayers grown in the {001} crystallographic direction can exhibit higher Chern numbers for the lowest band of the model dispersion in the absence of an applied magnetic field, including…
We theoretically explore possible unconventional superconductivity induced by weak repulsive interactions in twisted bilayer TMD (e.g. WSe$_2$) in the presence of an out-of-plane electric field. Using renormalization group (RG) analysis, we…
We investigate topological phase transitions in a two-dimensional electron system with cubic Rashba spin-orbit coupling driven by circularly polarized light. Within the Floquet framework, we demonstrate that light-matter interaction induces…
The long-sought Chern insulators that manifest quantum anomalous Hall effect are typically considered to occur solely in ferromagnets. Here, we theoretically predict the realizability of Chern insulators in antiferromagnets, of which the…
Electrons in moir\'e flat band systems can spontaneously break time reversal symmetry, giving rise to a quantized anomalous Hall effect. Here we use a superconducting quantum interference device to image stray magnetic fields in one such…
Physical systems with non-trivial topological order find direct applications in metrology[1] and promise future applications in quantum computing[2,3]. The quantum Hall effect derives from transverse conductance, quantized to unprecedented…
Electrical readout of 180$^\circ$ switching in strictly compensated collinear antiferromagnets remains a major challenge in antiferromagnetic spintronics. Electrical writing of perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnets by out-of-plane orbital…
Quantum spin Hall insulators hosting edge spin currents hold great potential for low-power spintronic devices. In this paper, we present a universal approach to achieve a high and near-quantized spin Hall conductance plateau within a…
We investigate an effective model of proximity modified graphene (or symmetrylike materials) with broken time-reversal symmetry. We predict the appearance of quantum anomalous Hall phases by computing bulk band gap and Chern numbers for…
