Attraction from repulsion in an interacting Chern band: chiral superconductivity, generalized Hall crystals, and competing fractional Chern insulators

Fabian Pichler, Clemens Kuhlenkamp, Ashvin Vishwanath +1

Experiments realizing strong interactions in partially filled Chern bands have observed fractional Chern insulators (FCIs), superconductors, and topological crystals in close proxi…

Out-of-equilibrium spin-valley dynamics of ferromagnets in topological Chern bands

J. James, I. Krastilevskiy, F. Pichler +8

Understanding quantum matter far from equilibrium is a central goal of modern physics. Twisted MoTe2 bilayers constitute a promising platform for exploring this frontier by combini…

Electromagnetic Response of a Half-Filled Chern Band near Topological Criticality

Xinlei Yue, Fabian Pichler, Michael Knap +1

We evaluate electromagnetic-response observables in a half-filled Chern band, across a topological phase transition between a composite Fermi liquid (CFL) and a Fermi liquid (FL) p…

Spectroscopy of Wigner crystal polarons in an atomically thin semiconductor

L. Wang, F. Menzel, F. Pichler +5

Strongly interacting electrons in two-dimensional systems can spontaneously break translational symmetry, forming a periodic Wigner crystal. Although these crystals have been reali…

Microscopic Mechanism of Anyon Superconductivity Emerging from Fractional Chern Insulators

Fabian Pichler, Clemens Kuhlenkamp, Michael Knap +1

Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states and superconductors typically require contrasting conditions, yet recent experiments have observed them in the same device. A natural explanati…

Probing magnetism in moiré heterostructures with quantum twisting microscopes

Fabian Pichler, Wilhelm Kadow, Clemens Kuhlenkamp +1

Spin-ordered states close to metal-insulator transitions are poorly understood theoretically and challenging to probe in experiments. Here, we propose that the quantum twisting mic…
