摘要

The rising of topological materialsMnBi₂Te₄/(Bi₂Te₃)_nwith built-in magnetization provides a great platform for the realization of both Chern-insulator and axion-insulator phases, manifesting integer and half-integer quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effects, respectively [1-3]. Using both model Hamiltonian and first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that rich 2D and 3D topological phase diagrams can be established with the mapping ofMnBi₂Te₄/(Bi₂Te₃)_nsystems. For the 2D topological phases, we provide design principles to trigger integer QAH states by tuning experimentally accessible knobs, such as slab thickness and magnetization [2]. In the second part of the talk, some experimental progresses and theoretical insights on the issue of the surface gaps inMnBi₂Te₄/(Bi₂Te₃)_nare discussed (if time permits) [3-6].
