Second-order topological insulator induced by compensated altermagnetism without bulk spin splitting

Lizhou Liu, Qing-Feng Sun, Ying-Tao Zhang

We theoretically demonstrate a second-order topological insulating phase induced by compensated altermagnetism, while keeping the bulk gap unchanged, in a two-dimensional topologic…

Quantum anomalous Hall effect with tunable Chern numbers induced by d-wave sublattice-staggered altermagnetism

Lizhou Liu, Qing-Feng Sun

We construct a minimal spinful tight-binding model on a square lattice, where a -wave sublattice-staggered altermagnetism drives the quantum anomalous Hall effect. Here the exch…

Engineering Two-Dimensional Hybrid-Order Topological Insulators via Trilayer Coupling

Lizhou Liu, Cheng-Ming Miao, Qing-Feng Sun

We propose an interlayer-engineering scheme to realize a two-dimensional hybrid-order topological insulator, characterized by the coexistence of first-order and second-order topolo…

Engineering chiral-induced spin selectivity in an artificial topological quantum well

Lizhou Liu, Peng-Yi Liu, Tian-Yi Zhang +1

Chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is a striking phenomenon in which spin-unpolarized electrons become spin-polarized after traversing a chiral medium. Theoretical studies have…

Tunable two-dimensional Dirac-Weyl semimetal phase induced by altermagnetism

Lizhou Liu, Qing-Feng Sun, Ying-Tao Zhang

We demonstrate a tunable Dirac-Weyl semimetal phase in two dimensions, realized by introducing in-plane d-wave altermagnetism into a Dirac system. This phase hosts both a central D…
