We study the nature of the disorder-induced quantized conductance, i.e., the phenomena of topological Anderson insulator (TAI) induced in HgTe/CdTe semiconductor quantum well. The disorder effect in several different systems where anomalous…

Strong directional disorder in local magnetic moments coupled to a Chern insulator gives rise to topological phases that cannot be continuously connected to the clean limit and are therefore genuinely disorder-driven. We demonstrate this in…

At the interface between two-dimensional materials with different topologies, topologically protected one-dimensional states (also named as zero-line modes) arise. Here, we focus on the quantum anomalous Hall effect based zero-line modes…

The conductance of a quantum wire with off-diagonal disorder that preserves a sublattice symmetry (the random hopping problem with chiral symmetry) is considered. Transport at the band center is anomalous relative to the standard problem of…

Current Luttinger liquid edge state theories for filling $\nu=2/3$ predict a non-universal Hall conductance, in disagreement with experiment. Upon inclusion of random edge tunnelling we find a phase transition into a new…

A quantum spin Hall insulator is a two-dimensional state of matter consisting of an insulating bulk and one-dimensional helical edge states. While these edge states are topologically protected against elastic backscattering in the presence…

We study the transport behavior induced by a small bias voltage through a quantum dot connected to one-channel disordered wires by means of a quantum Monte Carlo method. We model the quantum dot by the Hubbard-Anderson impurity and the…

We analyze the phase transitions of an interacting electronic system weakly coupled to free-electron leads by considering its zero-bias conductance. This is expressed in terms of two effective impurity models for the cases with and without…

Helical edge states of two-dimensional topological insulators show a gap in the density of states (DOS) and suppressed conductance in the presence of ordered magnetic impurities. Here we will consider the dynamical effects on the DOS and…

On the surface of 2D Topological insulators occur 1D quantum spin Hall(QSH) edge modes with Dirac like dispersion. Unlike quantum Hall(QH) edge modes which occur at high magnetic fields in 2DEGs, the occurrence of QSH edge modes is because…

We investigate edge reconstruction scenarios in the $\nu = 1$ quantum Hall state, focusing on configurations with upstream and downstream charge and neutral modes. Our analysis shows that the coexistence of upstream charge and neutral modes…

The quantum anomalous Hall effect shows great promise for realization of the ohm without the need for an external magnetic field. The most mature material platform is magnetically doped topological insulators. In these materials, precise…

Doping a topological insulator (TI) film with transition metal ions can break its time-reversal symmetry and lead to the realization of the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect. Prior studies have shown that the longitudinal resistance of…

We calculate the conductance of tubular-shaped nanowires having many potential scatterers at random positions. Our approach is based on the scattering matrix formalism and our results analyzed within the scaling theory of disordered…

We develop a simple model of surface states for topological insulators, developing matching relations for states on surfaces of different orientations. The model allows one to write simple Dirac Hamiltonians for each surface, and to…

We consider the topological abelian BF theory with radial boundary on a generic 3D manifold. Our aim is to study if, where and how the boundary keeps memory of the details of the background metric. We find that some features are…

We study the thermal transport in two-dimensional systems with a nontrivial Berry curvature texture. The physical realizations are many: for a sake of definiteness we consider undoped graphene gapped by the presence of an aligned…

Quantum Spin-Hall systems are topological insulators displaying dissipationless spin currents flowing at the edges of the samples. In contradistinction to the Quantum Hall systems where the charge conductance of the edge modes is quantized,…

We study the Hall conductance of a Chern insulator after a global quench of the Hamiltonian. The Hall conductance in the long time limit is obtained by applying the linear response theory to the diagonal ensemble. It is expressed as the…

For a disordered two-dimensional model of a topological insulator (such as a Kane-Mele model with disordered potential) with small coupling of spin invariance breaking term (such as the Rashba coupling), it is proved that the spin edge…
