摘要:

在这项工作中,我们研究了在外部磁场的存在下,二聚正方形晶格的拓扑相。晶格跳跃振幅的二聚化模式可以在一定分数填充下诱导Hofstadter谱中的一系列体能隙开口,从而产生各种拓扑相。特别是,我们表明,在$\frac{1}{2}$ -填充拓扑四极绝缘体相的四极矩量化到$\frac{e}{2}$和相关的角落本地化的中间间隙状态存在于一定的参数制度的所有磁通量。在$\frac{1}{4}$填充时,系统可以容纳阻塞的原子极限相或陈氏绝缘体相。对于那些在填充低于$\frac{1}{4}$的配置缺口,系统是在各种非零陈数的陈绝缘体相。在整个相图中,该模型同时存在体阻和边界阻拓扑相变。

英文摘要:

In this work, we study the topological phases of the dimerized square lattice in the presence of an external magnetic field. The dimerization pattern in the lattice's hopping amplitudes can induce a series of bulk energy gap openings in the Hofstadter spectrum at certain fractional fillings, giving rise to various topological phases. In particular, we show that at $\frac{1}{2}$-filling the topological quadrupole insulator phase with a quadrupole moment quantized to $\frac{e}{2}$ and associated corner-localized mid-gap states exists in certain parameter regime for all magnetic fluxes. At $\frac{1}{4}$ filling, the system can host obstructed atomic limit phases or Chern insulator phases. For those configurations gapped at fillings below $\frac{1}{4}$, the system is in Chern insulator phases of various non-vanishing Chern numbers. Across the phase diagram, both bulk-obstructed and boundary-obstructed topological phase transitions exist in this model.
