Quantum phase transitions in Dirac fermion systems

R Boyack, H Yerzhakov, J Maciejko - The European Physical Journal …, 2021 - Springer
A key problem in the field of quantum criticality is to understand the nature of quantum phase
transitions in systems of interacting itinerant fermions, motivated by experiments on a variety …

Disordered quantum critical fixed points from holography

X Huang, S Sachdev, A Lucas - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Using holographic duality, we present an analytically controlled theory of quantum critical
points without quasiparticles, at finite disorder and finite charge density. These fixed points …

Emergent Multi-Flavor at the Plateau Transition between Fractional Chern Insulators: Applications to Graphene Heterostructures

JY Lee, C Wang, MP Zaletel, A Vishwanath, YC He - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
Recent experiments in graphene heterostructures have observed Chern insulators—integer
and fractional quantum Hall states made possible by a periodic substrate potential. Here, we …

Emergent from half-filled flat Chern bands

XY Song, H Goldman, L Fu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Recently, two-dimensional Dirac materials patterned with a superlattice structure have
emerged as a rich platform for exploring correlated and topological quantum matter. In this …

Dirac composite fermions and emergent reflection symmetry about even-denominator filling fractions

H Goldman, E Fradkin - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Motivated by the appearance of a “reflection symmetry” in transport experiments and the
absence of statistical periodicity in relativistic quantum field theories, we propose a series of …

Quantum electrodynamics in 2+ 1 dimensions with quenched disorder: Quantum critical states with interactions and disorder

A Thomson, S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Quantum electrodynamics in 2+ 1 dimensions (QED 3) is a strongly coupled conformal field
theory (CFT) of a U (1) gauge field coupled to 2 N two-component massless fermions. The …

Interplay between short-range correlated disorder and Coulomb interaction in nodal-line semimetals

Y Wang, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
In nodal-line semimetals, Coulomb interactions and short-range correlated disorder are both
marginal perturbations to the clean noninteracting Hamiltonian. We analyze their interplay …

Universal conductivity at a two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition: The effects of quenched disorder and Coulomb interaction

CJ Lee, M Mulligan - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We calculate the zero-temperature dc electrical conductivity in the collisionless ℏ ω/k BT→∞
limit at superconductor-insulator transitions in the (2+ 1) d XY model universality class. We …

Sign change in the anomalous Hall effect and strong transport effects in a 2D massive Dirac metal due to spin-charge correlated disorder

AC Keser, R Raimondi, D Culcer - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is highly sensitive to disorder in the metallic phase. Here
we show that statistical correlations between the charge-spin disorder sectors strongly affect …

Interaction-induced metallicity in a two-dimensional disordered non-Fermi liquid

PA Nosov, IS Burmistrov, S Raghu - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The interplay of interactions and disorder in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems has
actively been studied for decades. The paradigmatic approach involves starting with a clean …
