Tunable band topology reflected by fractional quantum Hall States in two-dimensional lattices.
Two-dimensional lattice models subjected to an external effective magnetic field can form nontrivial band topologies characterized by nonzero integer band Chern numbers. In this Letter, we investigate such a lattice model originating from the Hofstadter model and demonstrate that the band topology transitions can be realized by simply introducing tunable longer-range hopping. The rich phase dia...
متن کاملObservation of Bose–Einstein condensation in a strong synthetic magnetic field
Extensions of Berry’s phase and the quantum Hall effect have led to the discovery of new states of matter with topological properties. Traditionally, this has been achieved using gauge fields created by magnetic fields or spin orbit interactions which couple only to charged particles. For neutral ultracold atoms, synthetic magnetic fields have been created which are strong enough to realize the...
متن کاملPhysics of a two-dimensional electron gas with cold atoms in non-Abelian gauge potentials
Motivated by the possibility of creating non-Abelian fields using cold atoms in optical lattices, we explore the richness and complexity of noninteracting two-dimensional electron gases 2DEGs in a lattice, subjected to such fields. In the continuum limit, a non-Abelian system characterized by a two-component “magnetic flux” describes a harmonic oscillator existing in two different charge states...
متن کاملMagnetic Fingerprints of Fractal Spectra and Duality of Hofstadter Models
We study the de-Haas van Alphen oscillations in the magnetization of the Hofstadter model. Near a split band the magnetization is a rapidly oscillations function of the Fermi energy with lip shaped envelopes. For generic magnetic fields this structure appears on all scales and provides a thermodynamic fingerprint of the fractal properties of the model. The analysis applies equally well to the t...
