It was shown by Prodan in 2009 that both magnetic and nonmagnetic two-dimensional insulators can support quantized spin-Chern number in the absence of spin-rotation symmetry as a bulk topological invariant, which is robust against impurity effects. Recent studies on higher-order and fragile topological insulators further demonstrate that the spin-Chern number can exist without gapless edge states. Therefore, the presence of generalized quantum spin-Hall states in real materials can be difficult to identify using only symmetry-based indicators and Wannier obstruction. Such phases require more sophisticated probes of bulk topology. Magnetic flux tube has emerged as one such singular real-space probe that leads to spin-charge separation and allows for a precise diagnosis of the spin-Chern number. In this paper, we develop an automated workflow to scan the database of experimentally relevant, large band-gap, two-dimensional insulators using magnetic flux tubes. The results reveal many material candidates of higher-order topological insulators possessing double spin-Chern number, including the 1H-MX2 family of transition metal dichalcogenides. Our paper has broad implications for current efforts to employ these materials for new platforms of moiré systems.

Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are exotic states of matter with novel optical, transport, and mechanical properties. These systems are characterized by an anomalous suppression of large-scale density fluctuations compared to ordinary liquids. The structure factor of disordered hyperuniform systems often obeys the scaling relation S(k)∼Bkα with B,α>0 in the limit k→0. Ground states of d-dimensional free fermionic gases, which are fundamental models for many metals and semiconductors, are key examples of quantum disordered hyperuniform states with important connections to random matrix theory. However, the effects of electron-electron interactions as well as the polarization of the electron liquid on hyperuniformity have not been explored thus far. In this paper, we systematically address these questions by deriving the analytical small-k behaviors (and, associated, α and B) of the total and spin-resolved structure factors of quasi-one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional electron liquids for varying polarizations and interaction parameters. We validate that these equilibrium disordered ground states are hyperuniform, as dictated by the fluctuation-compressibility relation. Interestingly, free fermions, partially polarized interacting fermions, and fully polarized interacting fermions are characterized by different values of the small-k scaling exponent α and coefficient B. In particular, partially polarized fermionic liquids exhibit a unique form of multihyperuniformity, in which the net configuration exhibits a stronger form of hyperuniformity (i.e., larger α) than each individual spin component. The detailed theoretical analysis of such small-k behaviors enables the construction of corresponding equilibrium classical systems under effective one- and two-body interactions that mimic the pair statistics of quantum electron liquids. Our paper thus reveals that highly unusual hyperuniform and multihyperuniform states can be achieved in simple

We study direct current (DC) generation induced by microwave irradiation to ferroelectric materials. The DC generation originates from microwave absorption called dielectric loss due to the delay of a dielectric response. Such current generation can be formulated as the low-frequency limit of the phonon shift current which arises from an increase of electric polarization accompanying photoexcitation of phonons due to the electron-phonon coupling. To study the DC generation by the dielectric loss, we apply the diagrammatic treatment of nonlinear optical responses to photoexcitations of phonons and derive the general formula for phonon shift current. We then study the DC generation in the low-frequency region and find that the current scales as ∝ω2 for the linearly polarized light and time-reversal symmetric systems. We estimate the order of magnitude of the DC generation by dielectric loss, indicating its feasibility for experimental detection in the GHz region.
