Combined spontaneous symmetry-breaking and symmetry-protected topological order from cluster charge interactions
The study of symmetry-protected topological states in the presence of electron correlations has recently aroused great interest as rich and exotic phenomena can emerge. Here we report a concrete example by employing a large-scale unbiased quantum Monte Carlo study of the Kane-Mele model with cluster...
