Quantum corrections to electrical resistance can serve as sensitive probes of the magnetic landscape of a material. For example, interference between time-reversed electron paths gives rise to weak localization effects, which can provide…

We report the growth and magneto-transport studies of Pd$_{3}$Bi$_{2}$S$_{2}$ (PBS) thin films synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. The magneto-transport study on pristine and post annealed films show the presence of more…

We propose that the topological magneto-electric (ME) effect, a hallmark of topological insulators (TIs), can be realized in thin films of TIs in the $\nu=0$ quantum Hall state under magnetic field or by doping two magnetic ions with…

Topological insulators(1-8) are a novel form of matter which features metallic surface states with quasirelativistic dispersion similar to graphene(9). Unlike graphene, the locking of spin and momentum and the protection by time-reversal…

Magnetic doping with transition metal ions is the most widely used approach to break timereversal symmetry in a topological insulator, a prerequisite for unlocking the TIs exotic potential. Recently, we reported the doping of Bi2Te3 thin…

We report a transport study of ultrathin Bi2Se3 topological insulators with thickness from one quintuple layer to six quintuple layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. At low temperatures, the film resistance increases logarithmically with…

We have investigated the transport properties of topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films grown using magnetron sputtering with an emphasis on understanding the behavior as a function of thickness. We show that thickness has a strong…

The planar Hall effect (PHE), previously observed in Weyl and Dirac semimetals due to the chiral anomaly, emerges with a different origin in topological insulators (TIs), where in-plane magnetic fields induce resistivity anisotropy. In…

Iridate thin films are a prerequisite for any application utilizing their cooperative effects resulting from the interplay of stron spin-orbit coupling and electronic correlations. Here, heteroepitaxial Na2IrO3 thin films with excellent…

The paper examines weak localization (WL) of surface states with a quadratic band crossing in topological crystalline insulators. It is shown that the topology of the quadratic band crossing point dictates the negative sign of the WL…

The robustness of the gapless topological surface state hosted by a 3D topological insulator against perturbations of magnetic origin has been the focus of recent investigations. We present a comprehensive study of the magnetic properties…

The interface between a superconductor and a topological insulator has been proposed to harbor novel quasiparticles that realize physical schemes for fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here, we present high resolution angle-resolved…

Topological insulator (TI) thin films with surface magnetism are expected to exhibit a quantized anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) when the magnetizations on the top and bottom surfaces are parallel, and a quantized topological magnetoelectric…

A key feature of topological insulators is the robustness of the electron energy spectrum. At a surface of a topological insulator, Dirac point is protected by the characteristic symmetry of the system. The breaking of the symmetry opens a…
