From fractional quantum anomalous Hall smectics to polar smectic metals: nontrivial interplay between electronic liquid crystal order and topological order in correlated topological flat bands
{{output}}
Symmetry-breaking orders can not only compete with each other, but also be intertwined, and the intertwined topological and symmetry-breaking orders make the situation more intriguing. This work examines the archetypal correlated flat band model on a checkerbo... ...
