Abstract

Inspired by the first principles results for a bilayer Fe3Sn2 [PRL 125, 026401 (2020)] we obtain low energy tight binding models for this class of materials and show that symmetry considerations generally allow for a low energy isolated band which may acquire a non-zero Chern number. We then introduce short ranged interactions in these models and use exact diagonalization and field theoretic arguments to demonstrate the possibility of realizing exotic phases of electrons like the fractional Chern insulator and spin liquid phases.
