Reentrant quantum spin Hall effect in the presence of an exchange field

Abstract

Driven by various physical origins, the interesting reentrant phenomena in quantum Hall effect (QHE), quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) and non-Hermitian systems have been discussed recently. Here, we present that the reentrant phenomena of quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) can be achieved by introducing a uniform exchange field into a topological insulator with a four-band model Hamiltonian. Furthermore, it is found that both time-reversal (TR) symmetry broken QSHE and spin-polarized QAHE can simultaneously be generated in the system with proper exchange field strength by inspecting the corresponding edge states. Through analyzing the energy dependent spin-Chern number ${\nu }_s$ and transmission in the presence of random disorders, we verify the topological protection and the robustness of induced QSHE and QAHE. Finally, the theoretical realization of reentrant QSHE in a topolectrical circuit is demonstrated. Our work not only extends the reentrant phenomena into the QSHE but also stimulates interest in their realization in different systems.
