The interaction-driven phases in the Dirac semimetal (SM) of the π-flux model on the square lattice are studied with nearest-(NN), next-nearest-(NNN) and next-next-nearest-neighbor (NNNN) interactions using the exact diagonalization method. We find that the NN interaction drives a phase transition from the SM phase to a charge density wave insulator. In the presence of the NNN interaction, the system becomes an anisotropic SM for small interactions and an insulator with the stripe order for large ones. The NNNN interaction drives the Dirac SM to a dimmerized insulator. The interplay of the NNN and NNNN interactions is also studied. We find that the NNNN interaction firstly eliminates the effect of the NNN interaction and then develops its favorable order. In the calculations, the signature of the interaction-driven quantum anomalous Hall phase is not found.

The formation of large polarons resulting from the Fröhlich coupling of photogenerated carriers with the polarized crystal lattice is considered crucial in shaping the outstanding optoelectronic properties in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite crystals. Until now, the initial polaron dynamics after photoexcitation have remained elusive in the hybrid perovskite system. Here, based on the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and optical-pump terahertz probe, we access the nature of interplay between photoexcited unbound charge carriers and optical phonons in MAPbBr within the initial 5 ps after excitation and have demonstrated the simultaneous existence of both electron- and hole-polarons, together with the photogenerated carrier dynamic process.

Article Synopsis
- The standard model for fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect typically assumes a flat and isolated Chern band, but this study questions that view by focusing on pentalayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride.
- Through advanced calculations, researchers found that interaction effects produce a significant band gap, leading to stable FQAH states even without the moiré superlattice potential.
- The findings suggest that the QAH insulator at filling ν=1 behaves like an interaction-driven topological Wigner crystal, inviting further exploration of topology and FQAH in systems with low moiré potential.

Despite enormous efforts devoted to the study of the many-body localization (MBL) phenomenon, the nature of the high-energy behavior of the Heisenberg spin chain in a strong random magnetic field is lacking consensus. Here, we take a step back by exploring the weak interaction limit starting from the Anderson localized (AL) insulator. Through shift-invert diagonalization, we find that, below a certain disorder threshold h^{*}, weak interactions necessarily lead to an ergodic instability, whereas at strong disorder the AL insulator directly turns into MBL, in agreement with a simple interpretation of the avalanche theory for restoration of ergodicity.

We present analytical results of the fundamental properties of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with a repulsive interaction. The new model results with arbitrary external fields include: (I) using the exact solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations of the Hubbard model, we first rigorously calculate the gapless spin and charge excitations, exhibiting exotic features of fractionalized spinons and holons. We then investigate the gapped excitations in terms of the spin string and thek-Λstring bound states at arbitrary driving fields, showing subtle differences in spin magnons and charge-pair excitations.

Understanding the interplay of interaction and disorder in quantum transport poses long-standing scientific challenges for theory and experiment. While highly controlled ultracold atomic platforms combining atomic interactions with spatially disordered lattices have led to remarkable advances, the extension of such controlled studies to phenomena in high-dimensional disordered systems, such as the three-dimensional Anderson metal-insulator transition has been limited. Kicked quantum gases provide an alternate experimental platform that captures the Anderson model in momentum space and features dynamical localization as the analog of Anderson localization.
