Stacking sensitive topological phases in a bilayer Kane-Mele-Hubbard model at quarter filling
arXiv:1903.10124 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.045146
Abstract
Layered quasi two dimensional systems have garnered huge interest both in the advancement of technology and in understanding emergent physics such as unconventional superconductivity, topological phases. In particular, the study of topological properties in some bilayer systems like transition metal chalcogenides and iridates has been the point of attraction due to comparatively strong spin orbit coupling of transition metal ions. In this paper, we analyze the topological phases induced by the interplay of electron correlation and spin orbit coupling in different stacking orders of bilayer honeycomb lattice at quarter filling. Considering the two most common stacking orders, AA and bernel (AB) stacking, we show that the stacking order plays a crucial role in the topological phase transitions of the bilayer interacting system. For AA stacking case, the system realizes quantum spin Hall insulator in the presence (absence) of time reversal symmetry and magnetically ordered insulator. For bernel stacking case, however, additional phases such as charge ordered normal insulator or Chern insulator with both charge and magnetic order can be stabilized. Based on our analysis, we discuss the scope of experimental realization in bilayers of transition metal chalcogenides.
