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…

Topological Charge-Transfer Excitons

Huiyuan Zheng, Kaijie Yang, Ting Cao +1

Excitons possess internal structure absent from single-particle Bloch particles, allowing their band topology to emerge from the bound-state structure rather than being inherited f…

Nonadiabatic Theory of Phonon Magnetic Moments in Insulators and Metals

Haoran Chen, Wenqin Chen, Kaijie Yang +2

We develop a nonadiabatic theory of phonon magnetic moments applicable to both insulators and metals. By relating the phonon magnetic moment to the force-velocity response of ions…

Quantum Geometric Quadrupole of Cooper Pairs

Wenqin Chen, Kaijie Yang, Ting Cao +3

The size of Cooper pairs defines a fundamental length scale of superconductivity, conventionally set by band dispersion and the superconducting gap. This picture breaks down in fla…

Giant and Helical Exciton Dipole from Berry Curvature in Flat Chern Bands

Kaijie Yang, Huiyuan Zheng, Xiaodong Xu +2

We show that excitons forming between moiré flat Chern bands possess a substantial electric dipole moment comparable to the moiré lattice parameter times the elementary charge ($\s…

Robust valley-polarized excitonic Mott states and doublons enabled by stacking-controlled moiré geometry

Hao-Tien Chu, Shou-Chien Chiu, Meng-Che Yeh +12

Atomically-thin moiré superlattices offer an optically accessible platform for interacting bosons, where strong onsite repulsion suppresses double occupancy and supports e…
