Ising Dirac fermions across a topological phase transition
Aoqian Zhang, Yaqi Ma, Yifei Jin +14
Dirac fermions have attracted significant interest due to their relativistic dispersions and close connections to topological physics, yet they are generally expected to be gapped…
Observation of a Mott quantum spin Hall insulator in twisted WSe2
Yifei Jin, Yaqi Ma, Aoqian Zhang +9
Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators and Mott insulators are conventionally regarded as distinct insulating phases, arising from band topology and strong Coulomb interactions, respec…
Topological Charge Quadrupole Protected by Spin-Orbit U(1) Quasi-Symmetry in Antiferromagnet NdBiPt
Ao Zhang, Xiaobing Chen, Jiayu Li +3
The interplay of symmetry and topology in crystal solids has given rise to various elementary excitations as quasiparticles. Among these, those with significant Berry-phase-related…
Catalog of Unconventional Magnons in Collinear Magnets
Xiaobing Chen, Yuntian Liu, Pengfei Liu +5
Topological magnons have garnered significant interest for their potential in both fundamental research and device applications, owing to their exotic, uncharged, yet topologically…
Group Theory on Quasisymmetry and Protected Near Degeneracy
Jiayu Li, Ao Zhang, Yuntian Liu +1
In solid state systems, group representation theory is powerful in characterizing the behavior of quasiparticles, notably the energy degeneracy. While conventional group theory is…
Enumeration and representation theory of spin space groups
Xiaobing Chen, Jun Ren, Yanzhou Zhu +7
Those fundamental physical properties, such as phase transitions, Weyl fermions, and spin excitation, in all magnetic ordered materials, were ultimately believed to rely on the sym…
