Title: Anomalous bilayer quantum Hall effect

Journal Article · · Physical Review. B

In parallel to the condensed-matter realization of quantum Hall (Chern insulators), quantum spin Hall (topological insulators), and fractional quantum Hall (fractional Chern insulators) effects, we propose that bilayer flat band (FB) lattices with one FB in each layer constitute solid-state analogs of bilayer quantum Hall (BQH) system, leading to anomalous BQH effect without a magnetic field. By exact diagonalization of a bilayer kagome lattice Hamiltonian, as a prototypical example, we demonstrate the stabilization of excitonic condensate Halperin's (1,1,1) state at the total filling vT = 1 of the two FBs. Furthermore, by tuning the interlayer tunneling and distance between the kagome layers at vT = 2/3, we show phase transitions among Halperin's (3,3,0), spin-singlet (1,1,2), and particle-hole conjugate of Laughlin's 1/3 states, as previously observed in conventional BQH systems. Furthermore, our work opens a new direction in the field of FB physics by demonstrating bilayer FB materials as an attractive avenue for realizing exotic anomalous BQH states including non-Abelian anyons.
