In this paper, we study periodically modulated $s=1/2$ spin chain in a linear gradient potential (LP) that is generated by an external magnetic field. In the absence of the LP, the system has topological states that exhibit a magnetization…

Weak topological insulators have an even number of Dirac cones in their surface spectrum and are thought to be unstable to disorder, which leads to an insulating surface. Here we argue that the presence of disorder alone will not localize…
Anderson localization of wave-functions at zero energy in quasi-1D systems of $N$ disordered chains with inter-chain coupling $t$ is examined. Localization becomes weaker than for the 1D disordered chain ($t=0$) when $t$ is smaller than the…
