Tunable Multiband Geometry and Fractional Phases in Higher Vortexable Systems
Xiaohan Wan, Siddhartha Sarkar, Ting Cao +3
Higher vortexability is often viewed as a route to topological flat bands with higher-Landau-level-like quantum geometry. Here we emphasize a complementary perspective: it provides…
Beyond the Lowest Landau Level: Unlocking More Robust Fractional States Using Flat Chern Bands with Higher Vortexability
Yitong Zhang, Siddhartha Sarkar, Xiaohan Wan +3
Enhancing the many-body gap of a fractional state is crucial for realizing robust fractional excitations. For fractional Chern insulators, existing studies suggest that making flat…
Unconventional Fractional Phases in Multi-Band Vortexable Systems
Siddhartha Sarkar, Xiaohan Wan, Ang-Kun Wu +2
In this Letter, we study topological flat bands with distinct features that deviate from conventional Landau level behavior. We show that even in the ideal quantum geometry limit,…
High temperature surface state in Kondo insulator UBiNi
Christopher Broyles, Xiaohan Wan, Wenting Cheng +16
The resurgence of interest in Kondo insulators has been driven by two major mysteries: the presence of metallic surface states and the observation of quantum oscillations. To furth…
