Conventional description of Unconventional Coulomb-Crystal phase transitions in three-dimensional classical O(N) spin-ice

Cenke Xu

We study the phase transition between the high temperature Coulomb phase and the low temperature staggered crystal phase in three dimensional classical O(N) spin-ice model. Compare…

Fractionalization in Superconductor Josephson Junction Arrays Hinged by Quantum Spin Hall edges

Cenke Xu, Liang Fu

In this paper we study a novel superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor (SC-FM-SC) Josephson junction array deposited on top of a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator…

Quantum critical points of Helical Fermi Liquids

Cenke Xu

Following our previous work, we study the quantum phase transitions which spontaneously develop ferromagnetic spin order in helical fermi liquids which breaks continuous spin-space…

Fluctuating spin density waves in metals

Subir Sachdev, Max A. Metlitski, Yang Qi +1

Recent work has used a U(1) gauge theory to describe the physics of Fermi pockets in the presence of fluctuating spin density wave order. We generalize this theory to an arbitrary…

Time-Reversal Phase Transition at the Edge of 3d Topological Band Insulator

Cenke Xu

We study the time reversal (T) symmetry breaking of 2d helical fermi liquid, with application to the edge states of 3d topological band insulators with only one two-component Dirac…

Liquids in multi-orbital SU(N) Magnets with Ultracold Alkaline Earth Atoms

Cenke Xu

In this work we study one family of liquid states of k-orbital SU(N) spin systems, focusing on the case of k = 2 which can be realized by ultracold alkaline earth atoms trapped in…
