Synthesizing Toy Model Quantum Materials

Abstract：
Connecting theoretical models for exotic quantum states to real physical systems is a key
goal in the study of quantum materials. Among such theoretical models, a “toy model” is one
made deliberately simplistic in order to demonstrate new physical concepts and their
underlying mechanisms. Such models have proven to be tremendously successful in offering
insight in to new condensed matter phenomena including those involving electronic topology
and correlation. We describe here our recent progress in experimentally realizing “toy model”
quantum materials which, in analogy to their theoretical counterparts, are designed to
capture simple model systems by lattice and superlattice design. We detail developments in
synthesizing and studying magnetic and superconducting materials that allow for new
connections to long-standing predictions for unusual topological electronic phases. We close
with a perspective for realizing further toy model systems in complex material structures.
