We study electrical and thermoelectric transport properties of the surface state of the topological insulator and graphene in the presence of randomly distributed impurities. For finite impurity strength, the dependence of the transport…
In this manuscript, we study the interplay between symmetry and topology with a focus on the $Z_2$ topological index of 2D/3D topological insulators and high-order topological insulators. We show that in the presence of either a…
We theoretically study subgap states appearing at the interface between two three-dimensional topological insulators which have different configurations in the spin-orbit interactions from each other. The coupling of spin…
It is often thought that emergent phenomena in topological phases of matter are destroyed when tuning to a critical point. In particular, topologically protected edge states supposedly delocalize when the bulk correlation length diverges.…
This paper discusses the topological and transport properties of binary heterostructures of different topological materials. The creation of multilayer devices is an alternative to building synthetic topological materials. By adjusting the…
The impact of non-magnetic and magnetic impurities on topological insulators is a central problem concerning their fundamental physics and possible novel spintronics and quantum computing applications. SmB$_6$, predicted to be a topological…
We study disorder effects on the surface states of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ close to the topologically protected crossing point. Close to charge neutrality, local fluctuations in carrier density arising from the random charged…
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…
By employing T-matrix approach, we investigate a nonmagnetic impurity located on the surface of three-dimensional topological insulators, where the time reversal symmetry is preserved. It is shown that the images of the local density of…
The dyadic Green's function of the inhomogeneous vector Helmholtz equation describes the field pattern of a single frequency point source. It appears in the mathematical description of many areas of electromagnetism and optics including…
The Kondo insulator SmB6 has long been known to exhibit low temperature (T < 10K) transport anomaly and has recently attracted attention as a new topological insulator candidate. By combining low-temperature and high energy-momentum…
The unoccupied states in topological insulators Bi_2Se_3, PbSb_2Te_4, and Pb_2Bi_2Te_2S_3 are studied by the density functional theory methods. It is shown that a surface state with linear dispersion emerges in the inverted conduction band…
The existence of bound states induced by local impurities coupled to an insulating host depends decisively on the global topological properties of the host's electronic structure. In this context, we consider magnetic impurities modelled as…
We study the bulk and boundary properties of fragile topological insulators (TIs) protected by inversion symmetry, mostly focusing on the class A of the Altland-Zirnbauer classification. First, we propose an efficient method for diagnosing…
Finite topologically non-trivial systems are often characterised by the presence of bound states at their physical edges. These topological edge modes can be distinguished from usual Shockley waves energetically, as their energies remain…
A two-dimensional quadrupole topological insulator on a square lattice is a typical example of a higher-order topological insulator. It hosts an edge state localized near each of its $90^{\circ}$ corners at an energy $E$ inside the band…
For D-dimensional weakly interacting topological insulators in certain symmetry classes, the topological invariant can be calculated from a D- or (D+1)-dimensional integration over a certain curvature function that is expressed in terms of…
We present an exact solution of a modifed Dirac equation for topological insulator in the presence of a hole or vacancy to demonstrate that vacancies may induce bound states in the band gap of topological insulators. They arise due to the…
For conventional topological phases, the boundary gapless modes are determined by bulk topological invariants. Based on developing an analytic method to solve higher-order boundary modes, we present $PT$-invariant $2$D topological…
The intersection of electronic topology and strong correlations offers a rich platform to discover exotic quantum phases of matter and unusual materials. An overarching challenge that impedes the discovery is how to diagnose topology in…
