Clean sample phase diagram. The horizontal axis is the mass term m and the vertical axis is the magnetic field B. Here, the green, white, and red areas correspond to the normal insulator (NI), Chern insulator (CI), and second-order topological insulator (SOTI), respectively. The blue dotted line in the figure is m = t. Magnetic field B is within [−4t, 4t]. Other parameters in this article are all set to t = 1, Δ = t/4, and λ = t.
