The "Moiré Capacitor Effect" and Stabilization of Fractional Chern Insulators in Rhombohedral Graphene Superlattices

Nicolas Regnault, Heqiu Li, Yves H. Kwan +2

While the necessity of a moiré potential for fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in rhombohedral graphene-hBN superlattices, first predicted in Ref. 1, is now grounded in experiment…

Quantum Monte Carlo sign bounds, topological Mott insulator and thermodynamic transitions in twisted bilayer graphene model

Xu Zhang, Gaopei Pan, Bin-Bin Chen +3

We show that for magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) away from charge neutrality, although quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations suffer from the sign problem, the computatio…

Diagnosis of topological nodal lines with nontrivial monopole charge in the presence of rotation symmetries

Heqiu Li, Chen Fang, Kai Sun

We discuss a general diagnosis scheme for topological nodal lines protected by time-reversal symmetry and space-inversion symmetry, in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. It is sho…
