Topological antiferromagnetic phase in a correlated Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model

Abstract

Topological properties of antiferromagnetic phases are studied for a correlated topological band insulator by applying the dynamical mean field theory to an extended Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model including the Hubbard interaction. The calculation of the magnetic moment and the spin Chern number confirms the existence of a non-trivial antiferromagnetic (AF) phase beyond the Hartree-Fock theory. In particular, we uncover the intriguing fact that the topologically non-trivial AF phase is essentially stabilized by correlation effects but not by the Hartree shifts alone. This counterintuitive effect is demonstrated, through a comparison with the Hartree-Fock results, and should apply for generic topological insulators with strong correlations.
