A classification of incompressible quantum Hall fluids in terms of integral lattices and arithmetical invariants thereof is proposed. This classification enables us to characterize the plateau values of the Hall conductivity $\sH$ in the…
Protected by the chiral symmetry, three dimensional chiral topological insulators are characterized by an integer-valued topological invariant. How this invariant could emerge in physical observables is an important question. Here we show…
We report a continuous phase transition between quantum-anomalous-Hall and trivial-insulator phases in a magnetic topological insulator upon magnetization rotation. The Hall conductivity transits from one plateau of quantized Hall…
A square lattice model which exhibits a nonzero quantized Hall conductance in a zero net magnetic field at certain values of the parameters is presented. The quantization is due to the existence of a topological winding number that…
We constructed a Hall resistance formula for the fractional quantum Hall effect by analyzing the experimental data reported in [J. P. Eisenstein and H. L. Stormer, {Science} {\bf 248}, 1510 (1990)]. The formula is given as a function of…
A non-planar geometry for the quantum Hall (QH) effect is studied, whereby two quantum Hall (QH) systems are joined at a sharp right angle. When both facets are at equal filling factor nu the junction hosts a channel with non-quantized…
Using recently developed tools from space-adiabatic perturbation theory, in particular the construction of a non-equilibrium almost stationary state, we give a new proof that the Kubo formula for the Hall conductivity remains valid beyond…
We show that in the limit of zero temperature, double layer quantum Hall systems exhibit a novel phenomena called Hall drag, namely a current driven in one layer induces a voltage drop in the other layer, in the direction perpendicular to…
The conductivity $\sigma$ and resistivity $\rho$ tensors of the disordered Hofstadter model are mapped as functions of Fermi energy $E_F$ and temperature $T$ in the quantum critical regime of the plateau-insulator transition (PIT). The…
With a model calculation, we demonstrate that a non-invasive measurement of intrinsic quantum Hall effect defined by the local chemical potential in a ballistic quantum wire can be achieved with the aid of a pair of voltage leads which are…
In this paper we construct a one-dimensional insulator with an approximate chiral symmetry belonging to the AIII class and discuss its properties. The construction principle is the intentional pollution of the edge of a two-dimensional…
The quantum-spin-Hall (QSH) phase of 2D topological insulators has attracted increased attention since the onset of 2D materials research. While large bulk gaps with vanishing edge gaps in atomically thin layers have been reported,…
A long skinny gate across a fractional quantum Hall fluid at filling $\nu=1/m$ with odd integer $m$, creates a novel one-dimensional (1d) system which is isomorphic to a disordered 1d electron gas with {\it attractive} interactions. By…
Recently Chern insulators with Chern number $C=1$ and $C=2$ in zero (or very small) magnetic field have been observed in two moire graphene systems: twisted bilayer graphene and ABC trilayer graphene, both aligned with a hexagonal…
The surface states of topological insulators, which behave as charged massless Dirac fermions, are studied in the presence of a quantizing uniform magnetic field. Using the method of D.H. Lee[1], analytical formula satisfied by the energy…
In magnetic topological insulators, a phase transition between a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) and an Anderson localization phase can be triggered by the rotation of an applied magnetic field. Without the scattering paths along magnetic…
Recent experiments have studied the tunneling current between the edges of a fractional quantum Hall liquid as a function of temperature and voltage. The results of the experiment are puzzling because at "high" temperature (600-900 mK) the…
Starting from Laughlin type wave functions with generalized periodic boundary conditions describing the degenerate groundstate of a quantum Hall system we explictly construct $r$ dimensional vector bundles. It turns out that the filling…
The quantum Hall (QH) effect, quantized Hall resistance combined with zero longitudinal resistance, is the characteristic experimental fingerprint of Chern insulators - topologically non-trivial states of two-dimensional matter with broken…
A quantum spin Hall insulator is a two-dimensional state of matter consisting of an insulating bulk and one-dimensional helical edge states. While these edge states are topologically protected against elastic backscattering in the presence…
