A surface of a strong topological insulator (STI) is characterized by an odd number of linearly dispersing gapless electronic surface states. It is well known that such a surface cannot be described by an effective two-dimensional lattice…
The magnetic field opens a gap in the edge state spectrum of two-dimensional topological insulators thereby destroying protection of these states against backscattering. To relate properties of this gap to parameters of the system and to…

Finite topologically non-trivial systems are often characterised by the presence of bound states at their physical edges. These topological edge modes can be distinguished from usual Shockley waves energetically, as their energies remain…
