Topological insulators are new class of materials which are characterized by a bulk band gap like ordinary band insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states emerge out due to the combination of…

Topological insulators are electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary insulator, but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. The 2D topological insulator is a quantum spin Hall insulator, which is a…

It was reported earlier [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 056401 (2011)] that the skutterudite structure compound CoSb$_3$ displays a unique band structure with a topological transition versus a symmetry-preserving sublattice (Sb) displacement very…

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which can not be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full insulating gap in the bulk and gapless edge or surface states…

Interfaces between exfoliated topological insulator Bi2Se3 and several transition metals deposited by sputtering were studied by XPS, SIMS, UPS and contact I-V measurements. Chemically clean interfaces can be achieved when coating Bi2Se3…

A Z2 topological insulator protected by time-reversal symmetry is realized via spin-orbit interaction driven band inversion. For example, the topological phase in the Bi-Sb system is due to an odd number of band inversions. A related…

Ternary tetradymites Bi2Te2S, Bi2Te2Se and Bi2Se2Te are found to be stable, bulk topological insulators via theory, showing band inversion between group V and VI pz orbitals. We identify Bi2Se2Te as a good candidate to study massive Dirac…

Certain insulating materials with strong spin-orbit coupling can conduct currents along their edges or surfaces. This phenomenon arises from the non-trivial topological properties of the electronic band-structure, and is somewhat similar to…

Topological insulators are new quantum states with helical gapless edge or surface states inside the bulk band gap.These topological surface states are robust against the weak time-reversal invariant perturbations, such as lattice…

Superconductivity in topological insulators is expected to show very unconventional features such as $p+ip$ order parameter, Majorana fermions etc. However, the intrinsic superconductivity has been observed in a very limited number of…

Recent years have seen multiple high-throughput studies reveal an immense number of topological materials through use of symmetry indicators. Despite this success, three-dimensional topological insulators (TI) admitting a band-gap larger…
