چکیده
Motivated by the observation of topological states in $AB$-stacked ${\mathrm{MoTe}}_{2}/{\mathrm{WSe}}_{2}$, we construct symmetry-adapted Wannier and tight-binding model for quantum spin Hall bands this system. Our construction is based on symmetry analysis Bloch obtained from continuum moir\'e Hamiltonian. For parameters extracted first-principles calculations, find that can be described a defined triangular lattice with two per site valley. The given valley have same center but different angular momenta under threefold rotation. reproduces energy spectrum accurately describes phase transition induced out-of-plane displacement field. study sheds light metal dichalcogenides bilayers provides route to addressing many-body physics ${\mathrm{MoTe}}_{2}/{\mathrm{WSe}}_{2}$.

Spin order in paired quantum Hall states.
We consider quantum Hall states at even-denominator filling fractions, especially nu=5/2, in the limit of small Zeeman energy. Assuming that a paired quantum Hall state forms, we study spin ordering and its interplay with pairing. We give numerical evidence that at nu=5/2 an incompressible ground state will exhibit spontaneous ferromagnetism. The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory for the spin degrees...
متن کاملBinding Transition in Quantum Hall Edge States
We study a class of Abelian quantum Hall (QH) states which are topologically unstable (T-unstable). We find that the T-unstable QH states can have a phase transition on the edge which causes a binding between electrons and reduces the number of gapless edge branches. After the binding transition, the single-electron tunneling into the edge gains a finite energy gap, and only certain multi-elect...
متن کاملSpin-filtered edge states and quantum Hall effect in graphene.
Electron edge states in graphene in the quantum Hall effect regime can carry both charge and spin. We show that spin splitting of the zeroth Landau level gives rise to counterpropagating modes with opposite spin polarization. These chiral spin modes lead to a rich variety of spin current states, depending on the spin-flip rate. A method to control the latter locally is proposed. We estimate Zee...
متن کاملTrivial and inverted Dirac bands and the emergence of quantum spin Hall states in graphene on transition-metal dichalcogenides
Proximity orbital and spin-orbital effects of graphene on monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are investigated from first-principles. The Dirac band structure of graphene is found to lie within the semiconducting gap of TMDCs for sulfides and selenides, while it merges with the valence band for tellurides. In the former case, the proximity-induced staggered potential gaps and spi...
متن کاملTunneling between edge states in a quantum spin Hall system.
We analyze a quantum spin Hall device with a point contact connecting two of its edges. The contact supports a net spin tunneling current that can be probed experimentally via a two-terminal resistance measurement. We find that the low-bias tunneling current and the differential conductance exhibit scaling with voltage and temperature that depend nonlinearly on the strength of the electron-elec...
