Correlated electrons in a Crystalline Topological insulator
arXiv:2012.04513 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.115114
Abstract
We study the effects of e-e interaction in a 3D Crystalline Topological Insulator by adding on-site repulsion to the single-particle Hamiltonian and solving the many-body problem within Cluster Perturbation Theory. The goal is to clarify how many body effects modify the topological phase that stems from the crystal symmetries. Tuning the strength of the on-site interaction we show that band inversion disappears in the bulk and surface states loose their metallic character.
