Anderson critical metal phase in trivial states protected by average magnetic crystalline symmetry

Abstract Transitions between distinct obstructed atomic insulators (OAIs) protected by crystalline symmetries, where electrons form molecular orbitals centering away from the atom positions, must go through an intermediate metallic phase. In this work, we find that the intermediate metals will becom...
