Interacting Dirac fermions under a spatially alternating pseudomagnetic field: Realization of spontaneous quantum Hall effect

Both topological crystalline insulator surfaces and graphene host multivalley massless Dirac fermions which are not pinned to a high-symmetry point of the Brillouin zone. Strain couples to the low-energy electrons as a time-reversal-invariant gauge field, leading to the formation of pseudo-Landau-le...
