Abstract

The search for the exotic quantum phases constitutes one of the most important and hot issues in modern condensed matter physics. In this talk, I will first give a brief introduction to some modern quantum phases realized in low-dimensional (quasi-2D) materials and their properties. Then, I will present our recent theoretical investigations on the possible quantum phases and the quantum phase transitions realized in the Haldane-Hubbard model, and pseudogap in 5d transition metal oxide Sr2IrO4. In particular, we uncover a new topological phase transition in the Haldane-Hubbard model which is not accompanied with the single particle gap closing but is associated with the zeros of the single particle Green's function. And a non-magnetic topological Mott insulating phase with no gapless single particle edge states which cannot be adiabatically connected to any non-interacting Chern insulator.
