Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a class of X-ray repeating burst phenomena discovered in recent years. Although many models have been proposed to study this phenomenon, there remains significant debate regarding the physical origin of QPEs. In our previous work, we developed a disk instability m...
