Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Yuchen Liu, Zheng Zhu, , , | Summary: We propose the realization of interaction-driven insulators in periodically strained monolayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Through extensive many-body exact diagonalization, we provide compelling evidence for various fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in both strained monolayer graphene and TMDs, […]
