Altermagnetic Anomalous Hall Effect and Spin--Edge-Locked Chiral Modes in a Modified Kane--Mele--Hubbard Model

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Alireza Qaiumzadeh

We establish a correlation-driven route to the altermagnetic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and its associated \emph{spin--edge-locked} edge states in a modified Kane--Mele--Hubbard m…

High-Temperature Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect in Buckled Honeycomb Antiferromagnets

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Götz S. Uhrig

We propose Néel antiferromagnetic (AF) Mott insulators with a buckled honeycomb structure as potential candidates to host a high-temperature AF Chern insulator (AFCI). Using a gene…

From explicit to spontaneous charge order and the fate of antiferromagnetic quantum Hall state

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati

The antiferromagnetic quantum Hall insulator (AFQHI), where one of the spin components is in the quantum Hall state and the other in the trivial state, is an established phase emer…

Antiferromagnetic topological insulators in heavy-fermion systems

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati

The cooperation of electronic correlation and spin-orbit coupling can stabilize magnetic topological insulators which host novel quantum phenomena such as the quantum anomalous Hal…

Antiferromagnetic Chern insulator with large charge gap in heavy transition-metal compounds

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Götz S. Uhrig

Despite the discovery of multiple intrinsic magnetic topological insulators in recent years the observation of Chern insulators is still restricted to very low temperatures due to…

Antiferromagnetic Chern insulator in centrosymmetric systems

Morad Ebrahimkhas, Götz S. Uhrig, Walter Hofstetter +1

An antiferromagnetic Chern insulator (AFCI) can exist if the effect of the time-reversal transformation on the electronic state cannot be compensated by a space group operation. Th…

Simplified approach to the magnetic blue shift of Mott gaps

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Frithjof B. Anders, Götz S. Uhrig

The antiferromagnetic ordering in Mott insulators upon lowering the temperature is accompanied by a transfer of the single-particle spectral weight to lower energies and a shift of…

Double-Exchange Enhanced Magnetic Blue-Shift of Mott Gaps

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Davide Bossini, Frithjof B. Anders +1

A substantial energy gap of charge excitations induced by strong correlations is the characteristic feature of Mott insulators. We study how the Mott gap is affected by long-range…

Lattice symmetry and emergence of antiferromagnetic quantum Hall states

Morad Ebrahimkhas, Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Walter Hofstetter

Strong local interaction in systems with non-trivial topological bands can stabilize quantum states such as magnetic topological insulators. We investigate the influence of the lat…

Density-wave steady-state phase of dissipative ultracold fermions with nearest-neighbor interactions

Jaromir Panas, Michael Pasek, Arya Dhar +6

In this work we investigate the effect of local dissipation on the presence of density-wave ordering in spinful fermions with both local and nearest-neighbor interactions as descri…

Singlet exciton condensation and bond-order-wave phase in the extended Hubbard model

Mohsen Hafez-Torbati, Götz S. Uhrig

The competition of interactions implies the compensation of standard mechanisms which leads to the emergence of exotic phases between conventional phases. The extended Hubbard mode…

From Gapped Excitons to Gapless Triplons in One Dimension

Mohsen Hafez Torbati, Nils A. Drescher, Götz S. Uhrig

Often, exotic phases appear in the phase diagrams between conventional phases. Their elementary excitations are of particular interest. Here, we consider the example of the ionic H…
