Recent developments in fractional Chern insulators

Z Liu, EJ Bergholtz - arxiv preprint arxiv:2208.08449, 2022 - arxiv.org
Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) are lattice generalizations of the conventional fractional
quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in two-dimensional (2D) electron gases. They typically arise in a …

Magic-angle helical trilayer graphene

T Devakul, PJ Ledwith, LQ **a, A Uri… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
We propose magic-angle helical trilayer graphene (HTG), a helical structure featuring
identical rotation angles between three consecutive layers of graphene, as a unique and …

Topological and stacked flat bands in bilayer graphene with a superlattice potential

SAA Ghorashi, A Dunbrack, A Abouelkomsan, J Sun… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We show that bilayer graphene in the presence of a 2D superlattice potential provides a
highly tunable setup that can realize a variety of flat band phenomena. We focus on two …

Hierarchy of ideal flatbands in chiral twisted multilayer graphene models

J Wang, Z Liu - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We propose models of twisted multilayer graphene that exhibit exactly flat Bloch bands with
arbitrary Chern numbers and ideal band geometries. The models are constructed by twisting …

Family of ideal chern flatbands with arbitrary chern number in chiral twisted graphene multilayers

PJ Ledwith, A Vishwanath, E Khalaf - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We consider a family of twisted graphene multilayers consisting of n-untwisted chirally
stacked layers, eg, AB, ABC, etc, with a single twist on top of m-untwisted chirally stacked …

Origin of model fractional Chern insulators in all topological ideal flatbands: Explicit color-entangled wave function and exact density algebra

J Wang, S Klevtsov, Z Liu - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
It is commonly believed that nonuniform Berry curvature destroys the Girvin-MacDonald-
Platzman algebra and as a consequence destabilizes fractional Chern insulators. In this …

Many-body ground states from decomposition of ideal higher Chern bands: Applications to chirally twisted graphene multilayers

J Dong, PJ Ledwith, E Khalaf, JY Lee… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
Motivated by the higher Chern bands of twisted graphene multilayers, we consider flat
bands with arbitrary Chern number C with ideal quantum geometry. While C> 1 bands differ …

Topological properties of a dense atomic lattice gas

RJ Bettles, J Minář, CS Adams, I Lesanovsky, B Olmos - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We investigate the existence of topological phases in a dense two-dimensional atomic
lattice gas. The coupling of the atoms to the radiation field gives rise to dissipation and a …
