| contents | We systematically investigate the emergence of electron crystal phases in rhombohedral multilayer graphene using comprehensive self-consistent Hartree Fock calculations combined with \textit{ab initio} tight binding model. As the carrier density increases, we uncover an isospin cascade sequence of phase transitions that gives rise to a rich variety of ordered states, including electron crystal phases with non-zero Chern numbers. We further show the nearly degeneracy of these topological electron crystals hosting extended quantum anomalous Hall effect (EQAH) in the mean field regime and characterize pressure driven phase transitions. Finally, we discuss the thermodynamic signatures, particularly the behavior of the inverse compressibility, in light of recent experimental observations. |
