Abstract

Topological insulators (TIs) are expected to be a promising platform for novel quantum phenomena, whose experimental realizations require sophisticated devices. In this Technical Review, we discuss four topics of particular interest for TI devices: topological superconductivity, quantum anomalous Hall insulator as a platform for exotic phenomena, spintronic functionalities, and topological mesoscopic physics. We also discuss the present status and technical challenges in TI device fabrications to address new physics.
