Topological flat bands from dipolar spin systems.
We propose and analyze a physical system that naturally admits two-dimensional topological nearly flat bands. Our approach utilizes an array of three-level dipoles (effective S=1 spins) driven by inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields. The dipolar interactions produce arbitrary uniform background gauge fields for an effective collection of conserved hard-core bosons, namely, the dressed spin flip...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect of hard-core bosons in topological flat bands.
Recent proposals of topological flat band models have provided a new route to realize the fractional quantum Hall effect without Landau levels. We study hard-core bosons with short-range interactions in two representative topological flat band models, one of which is the well-known Haldane model (but with different parameters). We demonstrate that fractional quantum Hall states emerge with sign...
متن کاملSuperfluidity in topologically nontrivial flat bands.
Topological invariants built from the periodic Bloch functions characterize new phases of matter, such as topological insulators and topological superconductors. The most important topological invariant is the Chern number that explains the quantized conductance of the quantum Hall effect. Here we provide a general result for the superfluid weight Ds of a multiband superconductor that is applic...
متن کاملTopological Bloch bands in graphene superlattices.
We outline a designer approach to endow widely available plain materials with topological properties by stacking them atop other nontopological materials. The approach is illustrated with a model system comprising graphene stacked atop hexagonal boron nitride. In this case, the Berry curvature of the electron Bloch bands is highly sensitive to the stacking configuration. As a result, electron t...
