具有非平凡拓扑的近平坦带

Nearly-flat bands with nontrivial topology

Kai Sun, Zheng-Cheng Gu, Hosho Katsura, S. Das Sarma

摘要:

我们报告的理论发现的一个大类的2D紧束缚模型包含近平带与非零陈数。与以前的研究相比,通常需要非局域跳跃,我们的模型的哈密顿量只需要短程跳跃,并有可能在冷原子气体中实现。由于与二维连续朗道能级的相似性,这些拓扑非平凡的近平坦能带可能导致在实际材料中实现分数反常量子霍尔态和分数拓扑绝缘体.在我们发现的模型中,最有趣和实用的是一个正方形格子三带模型,它只有最近邻跳变。为了更好地理解拓扑平带的物理基础方面,我们还提出了一个最小的两个带模型的棋盘格的研究。

英文摘要:

We report the theoretical discovery of a large class of 2D tight-binding models containing nearly-flat bands with nonzero Chern numbers. In contrast with previous studies, where nonlocal hoppings are usually required, the Hamiltonians of our models only require short-range hopping and have the potential to be realized in cold atomic gases. Due to the similarity with 2D continuum Landau levels, these topologically nontrivial nearly-flat bands may lead to the realization of fractional anomalous quantum Hall states and fractional topological insulators in real materials. Among the models we discover, the most interesting and practical one is a square-lattice three-band model which has only nearest-neighbor hopping. To understand better the physics underlying the topological flat band aspects, we also present the studies of a minimal two-band model on the checkerboard lattice.
