Skyrmion Fractional Chern Insulator: An Intrinsically Multiband Route to Fractionalization in Rhombohedral Graphene

Julian May-Mann, Tixuan Tan, Patrick J. Ledwith +2

We propose an unconventional microscopic origin for the fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect in rhombohedral graphene moiré superlattices: skyrmion fractionalization. We…

Non-Abelian topological superconductivity from melting Abelian fractional Chern insulators

Zhengyan Darius Shi, T. Senthil

Fractional Chern insulators (FCI) are exotic phases of matter realized at partial filling of a Chern band that host fractionally charged anyon excitations. Recent numerical studies…

Controlled expansion for transport in a class of non-Fermi liquids

Zhengyan Darius Shi

Non-Fermi liquids arise when strong interactions destroy stable fermionic quasiparticles. The simplest models featuring this phenomenon involve a Fermi surface coupled to fluctuati…
