The quantum geometric origin of capacitance in insulators

I Komissarov, T Holder, R Queiroz - Nature communications, 2024 - nature.com
In band insulators, without a Fermi surface, adiabatic transport can exist due to the geometry
of the ground state wavefunction. Here we show that for systems driven at a small but finite …

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 …

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
