Interaction-driven Chern insulating phases in the α−T3 lattice with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Summary: The magnetic interaction is a necessary ingredient to break the time-reversal symmetry in realizing quantum anomalous Hall, or Chern insulating phases. Here, we study topological phases in the α−T3 model, a minimal theoretical model supporting the flat band, taking account of Rashba spin-or...
