Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking in 2D Lattice Model

POSTER

Abstract

We use magnetic group as a tool to classify the possible spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking states in 2D electronic systems. We study the leading order fluctuations of the order parameter with discrete symmetry. The method is applied to the study of Topological Mott insulator phase in Graphene and orbital loop currents in CuO planes.
