We study the influence of step defect on surface states in three-dimensional topological insulators subject to a perpendicular magnetic field. By calculating the energy spectrum of the surface states, we find that Landau levels (LLs) can…

We study molecular beam epitaxially grown, undoped Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$Sb/InAs/AlSb quantum wells with different buffer and barrier designs and varying quantum well width. The highest mobilities were achieved with Al$_{0.33}$Ga$_{0.67}$Sb…

We theoretically study the generic behavior of the penetration depth of the edge states in two-dimensional quantum spin Hall systems. We found that the momentum-space width of the edge-state dispersion scales with the inverse of the…

We show how to engineer enhanced skew scattering and gap-like opening in the surface state of three-dimensional topological insulators using only non-magnetic impurities. Enhanced skew scattering off non-magnetic impurities is obtained as a…

Topological insulators have remained as candidates for future electronic devices since their first experimental realization in the past decade. The existence of topologically protected edge states could be exploited to generate a robust…

Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations were studied under high magnetic field in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ nanostructures grown by Chemical Vapor Transport, for different bulk carrier densities ranging from $3\times10^{19}\text{cm}^{-3}$ to…

Helical edge states in quantum spin Hall (QSH) materials are central building blocks of topological matter design and engineering. Despite their principal topological protection against elastic backscattering, the level of operational…

This paper proposes a quantitative description of the low energy edge states at the interface between two-dimensional topological insulators. They are modeled by continuous Hamiltonians as systems of Dirac equations that are amenable to a…

Topological surface states have been extensively observed via optics in thin films of topological insulators. However, in typical thick single crystals of these materials, bulk states are dominant and it is difficult for optics to verify…

We have applied a double decoupled localized level Anderson-Newns Hamiltonian to the analysis of surface effects upon the ionized fraction $\mathcal{R}_{+}$ of sputtered atoms from a metal surface. Electronic excitations, induced in the…

Epitaxial bismuthene on SiC(0001) hosts symmetry-protected metallic edge states within a large bulk band gap, establishing it as a promising two-dimensional topological insulator for hightemperature quantum spin Hall (QSH) transport. Here…

InSb is one of the promising candidates to realize a topological state through proximity induced superconductivity in a material with strong spin-orbit interactions. In two-dimensional systems, thin barriers are needed to allow strong…

Topological insulators are crystalline materials that have revolutionized our ability to control wave transport. They provide us with unidirectional channels that are immune to obstacles, defects or local disorder, and can even survive some…

Tuning the interaction between the bulk and edge states of topological materials is a powerful tool for manipulating edge transport behavior, opening up exciting opportunities for novel electronic and spintronic applications. This approach…

This paper reviews recent developments in quantum transport and it presents recent efforts to explore the contribution of topological insulator boundary states to thermoelectricity in Bi$_2$Te$_3$ thin films. Although Bi$_2$Te$_3$ has been…

We construct a theory of charge transport by the surface states of topological insulators in three dimensions. The focus is on the experimentally relevant case when the electron doping is such that the Fermi energy $\epsilon_F$ and…

The electronic structure of Sb(110) is studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principle calculations, revealing several electronic surface states in the projected bulk band gaps around the Fermi energy. The…

We review our recent theoretical works on the the quantum spin Hall effect. First we compare edge states in various 2D systems, and see whether they are robust or fragile against perturbations. Through the comparisons we see the robust…

Scattering theory traditionally deals with the asymptotic behaviour of a system far removed from the actual scattering event. Here we present an experimental study of the one-dimensional scattering of a non-interacting condensate of 87-Rb…
