Tunable Multiband Geometry and Fractional Phases in Higher Vortexable Systems
Xiaohan Wan, Siddhartha Sarkar, Ting Cao +3
Higher vortexability is often viewed as a route to topological flat bands with higher-Landau-level-like quantum geometry. Here we emphasize a complementary perspective: it provides…
Topological Charge-Transfer Excitons
Huiyuan Zheng, Kaijie Yang, Ting Cao +1
Excitons possess internal structure absent from single-particle Bloch particles, allowing their band topology to emerge from the bound-state structure rather than being inherited f…
Electrically Programmable Correlated Topology and Magnetism in a Moiré Trilayer
Christiano Wang Beach, Courtney Baier, Kaijie Yang +15
Strong electron-electron interactions underlie a wide range of quantum many-body phenomena, including magnetism, superconductivity, and charge fractionalization. A central goal is…
Switching Chern number by sliding and gating in alternately twisted tetralayer MoTe2
Xiao-Wei Zhang, Kaijie Yang, Xiaodong Xu +2
Switching the bulk Chern number in topological materials is of central importance for the design of topological electronic devices. Motivated by recent observations of integer and…
Nonadiabatic Theory of Phonon Magnetic Moments in Insulators and Metals
Haoran Chen, Wenqin Chen, Kaijie Yang +2
We develop a nonadiabatic theory of phonon magnetic moments applicable to both insulators and metals. By relating the phonon magnetic moment to the force-velocity response of ions…
Quantum Geometric Quadrupole of Cooper Pairs
Wenqin Chen, Kaijie Yang, Ting Cao +3
The size of Cooper pairs defines a fundamental length scale of superconductivity, conventionally set by band dispersion and the superconducting gap. This picture breaks down in fla…
