چکیده
The exploration of topological electronic phases that result from strong correlations is a frontier in condensed matter physics. One class systems currently emerging as platform for such studies are so-called kagome magnets based on transition metals. Using muon spin-rotation, we explore magnetic the magnet Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2-x}$In$_{x}$S$_{2}$ function In-doping, providing putative evidence an intriguing incommensurate helimagnetic (HM) state. Our results show that, while undoped sample exhibits out-of-plane ferromagnetic (FM) ground state, at 5 ${\%}$ In-doping system enters state which FM and in-plane antiferromagnetic (AFM) coexist. At higher doping, HM emerges becomes dominant critical doping level only $x_{\rm cr,1}$ ${\simeq}$ 0.3. This indicates zero temperature first order quantum phase FM, through mixed to helical cr,1}$. In addition, cr,2}$ 1, second paramagnetic observed, evidencing point (QCP) diagram Co$_{3}$Sn$_{2-x}$In$_{x}$S$_{2}$. observed diversity interactions lattice drives non-monotonous variations Hall response this system.

Topological excitations in a kagome magnet.
Chirality--that is, left or right handedness--is present in many scientific areas, and particularly in condensed matter physics. Inversion symmetry breaking relates chirality with skyrmions, which are protected field configurations with particle-like and topological properties. Here we show that a kagome magnet, with Heisenberg and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, causes non-trivial topologi...
متن کاملMultifarious topological quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional topological superconductors
We study the two-dimensional topological superconductors of spinless fermions in a checkerboard-lattice Chern-insulator model. With the short-range p-wave superconducting pairing, multifarious topological quantum phase transitions have been found and several phases with high Chern numbers have been observed. We have established a rich phase diagram for these topological superconducting states. ...

We study a model of hard-core bosons with short-range repulsive interactions at half filling on the kagome lattice. Using quantum Monte Carlo numerics, we find that this model shows a continuous superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition, with exponents z=1 and nu approximately 0.67(5). The insulator, I*, exhibits short-ranged density and bond correlations, topological order, and exponential...
متن کاملNovel Quantum Criticality in Two Dimensional Topological Phase transitions
Topological quantum phase transitions intrinsically intertwine self-similarity and topology of many-electron wave-functions, and divining them is one of the most significant ways to advance understanding in condensed matter physics. Our focus is to investigate an unconventional class of the transitions between insulators and Dirac semimetals whose description is beyond conventional pseudo relat...
متن کاملContinuous topological phase transitions between clean quantum hall states
Continuous transitions between states and the same symmetry but different topological orders are studied. Clean quantum Hall (QH) liquids with neutral nonbosonic quasiparticles are shown to have such transitions under the right conditions. For clean bilayer (mmn) states, a continuous transition to other QH states (including non-Abelian states) can be driven by increasing interlayer repulsion/tu...
