Orbital Chern Insulator at ν=-2 in Twisted MoTe_2
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
In twisted MoTe_2, latest transport measurement has reported observation
of quantum anomalous Hall effect at hole filling ν=-1, which undergoes a
topological phase transition to a trivial ferromagnet as layer hybridization
gets suppressed by interlayer bias D. Here we show that this underlies the
existence of an orbital Chern insulating state with gate (D) switchable sign
in an antiferromagtic spin background at hole filling ν=-2. From
momentum-space Hartree Fock calculations, we find this state has a topological
phase diagram complementary to that of the ν=-1 one: by sweeping D from
negative to positive, the Chern number of this ν=-2 state can be switched
between +1, 0, and -1, accompanied by a sign change of a sizable orbital
magnetization. In range of D where this antiferronagnet is the ground state,
the orbital magnetization allows magnetic field initialization of the spin
antiferromagnetic order and the Chern number.
