Significant Attention

Magnetic topological insulators (TIs), including the quantum anomalous Hall effect and antiferromagnetic TIs, have attracted significant attention owing to the exotic properties they give rise to, however, ferromagnetic TIs with gapless surface/edge states and a nonzero topological invariant have not been reported so far.

Binary Compounds

Two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators present a special phase of matter manifesting unique electronic properties. Till now, many monolayer binary compounds of Sb element, mainly with a honeycomb lattice, have been reported as 2D topological insulators. However, research of the topological insulating properties of the monolayer Sb compounds with square lattice is still lacking. Here, by means of the first-principles calculations, a monolayer SbI with square lattice is proposed to exhibit the tunable topological properties by applying strain. At different levels of the strain, the monolayer SbI shows two different structural phases: buckled square structure and buckled rectangular structure, exhibiting attracting topological properties. We find that in the buckled rectangular phase, when the strain is greater than 3.78%, the system experiences a topological phase transition from a nontrivial topological insulator to a trivial insulator, and the structure at the transition point actually is a Dirac semimetal possessing two type-I Dirac points. In addition, the system can achieve the maximum global energy gap of 72.5 meV in the topological insulator phase, implying its promising application at room temperature. This study extends the scope of 2D topological physics and provides a platform for exploring the low-dissipation quantum electronics devices.

Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations

We study the phases of hard-core bosons on a two-dimensional periodic honeycomb lattice in the presence of an on-site potential with alternating sign along the different y-layers of the lattice. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations supported by analytical calculations, we identify a weak topological insulator, characterized by a zero Chern number but non-zero Berry phase, which is manifested at either density 1/4 or 3/4, as determined by the potential pattern. Additionally, a charge-density-wave insulator is observed at 1/2-filling, whereas the phase diagram at intermediate densities is occupied by a superfluid phase. The weak topological insulator is further shown to be robust against any amount of nearest-neighbor repulsion, as well as weak next-nearest-neighbor repulsion. The experimental realization of our model is feasible in an optical lattice setup.
