Hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces have been widely reported to host emergent properties that go beyond those of their single constituents. Coupling molecules to the recently discovered topological insulators, which possess a linearly…
Layered van der Waals (vdW) topological materials, especially the recently discovered MnBi$_2$Te$_4$-family magnetic topological insulators (TIs), have aroused great attention. However, there has been a serious debate about whether the…
Topological insulators embody a newly discovered state of matter characterized by conducting spin-momentum locked surface states that span the bulk band gap. So far, most of the study on topological insulator surfaces has been limited to…
We propose magnonic analogs of topological crystalline insulators which possess Dirac surface states protected by the combined symmetry of time-reversal and half translation. Constructing models of the topological magnon systems, we…
Topological insulators are a recently discovered class of materials with fascinating properties: While the inside of the solid is insulating, fundamental symmetry considerations require the surfaces to be metallic. The metallic surface…
In the presence of certain symmetries, three-dimensional Dirac semimetals can harbor not only surface Fermi arcs, but also surface Dirac cones. Motivated by the experimental observation of rotation-symmetry-protected Dirac semimetal states…
Topologically protected one-way transportation of sound, mimicking the topological properties of the condensed matter, has received greatly attentions. Thus far, the topological phases and the topological edge states of sound are yielded in…
Dirac-like electronic states are the main engines powering the tremendous advances in research of graphene, topological insulators and other materials with these states. Zero effective mass, high carrier mobility and numerous applications…
Three-dimensional topological insulators feature Dirac-like surface states which are topologically protected against the influence of weak quenched disorder. Here we investigate the effect of surface disorder beyond the weak-disorder limit…
We study the interaction effect in a three dimensional Dirac semimetal and find that two competing orders, charge-density-wave orders and nematic orders, can be induced to gap the Dirac points. Applying a magnetic field can further induce…
We discuss the excitation spectra around the Dirac node on a surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator. By using the diagrammatic expansion, we show that the coupling of an electron with the gauge field in the presence of…
Nonsymmorphic symmetries can give rise to Dirac semimetal (DSM) states. However, few studies have been conducted on DSMs in interacting systems. Here, we induce interacting DSM states in nonsymmorphic iridium oxides SrIrO$_3$, BaIrO$_3$ and…
Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac-like electron gases have attracted tremendous research interest ever since the discovery of free-standing graphene. The linear energy dispersion and non-trivial Berry phase play the pivotal role in the remarkable…
An odd number of gapless Dirac fermions is guaranteed to exist at a surface of a strong topological insulator. We show that in a thin-film geometry and under external bias, electron-hole pairs that reside in these surface states can…
Antiferromagnetic topological insulators (AF TIs) are predicted to exhibit exotic physical properties such as gigantic optical and topological magnetoelectric responses. While a key to achieving such phenomena relies on how to break the…
Topological semimetals are gapless states of matter which have robust and unique electromagnetic responses and surface states. In this paper, we consider semimetals which have point like Fermi surfaces in various spatial dimensions…
We consider weak topological insulators with a twofold rotation symmetry around the dark direction, and show that these systems can be endowed with the topological crystalline structure of a higher-order topological insulator protected by…
Nonsymmorphic crystalline symmetries provide a robust route to symmetry-protected electronic topology, yet their role in stabilizing intrinsic topological superconductivity remains largely unexplored. Here, we report \ch{TaPtSi} as a new…
The low energy quasiparticle dispersion of various narrow gap and gapless semiconductors are respectively described by three dimensional massive and massless Dirac fermions. The three dimensional Dirac spinor structure admits a…
The charge-ordered insulator $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ gradually evolves to a metal when pressure is applied, and at low temperatures the electronic bands form tilted Dirac-like cones. A metallic state with a frequency-independent…
