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). By analyzing the tunable band structure and band geometry via strain, and performing extensive many-body exact diagonalization of a realistic model, we […]
