Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators possess edge states that are topologically protected from backscattering. However, known QSH materials (e.g. HgTe/CdTe and InAs/GaSb quantum wells) exhibit very small energy gap and only work at low…
The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is a robust topological phenomenon featuring quantized Hall resistance at zero magnetic field. We report the QAHE in a rhombohedral pentalayer graphene/monolayer WS2 heterostructure. Distinct from…
Topological quantum materials can exhibit unconventional surface states and anomalous transport properties. Still, their applications in spintronic devices are restricted as they require the growth of high-quality thin films with bulk-like…
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…
The quantum Hall liquid is a novel state of matter with profound emergent properties such as fractional charge and statistics. Existence of the quantum Hall effect requires breaking of the time reversal symmetry caused by an external…
The non-dissipative quasistatic longitudinal optical response of insulators is characterized by an intrinsic geometric capacitance, determined by the ratio of the quantum metric to the energy gap, as recently stablished. We study the…
The so called quantum spin Hall phase is a topologically non trivial insulating phase that is predicted to appear in graphene and graphene-like systems. In this work we address the question of whether this topological property persists in…
Integrating spin-dependent functionality with mainstream semiconductor technology is a central goal of modern spintronics, yet most candidate materials remain incompatible with silicon-based platforms. Here, we report the direct epitaxial…
To magnetize surfaces of topological insulators without damaging their topological feature is a crucial step for the realization of the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), and still remains as a challenging task. Through density…
We consider a disordered topological insulator thin film placed on the top of a ferromagnetic insulator with a perpendicular exchange field $M$ and subjected to a perpendicular electric field. The presence of ferromagnetic insulator causes…
We report measurements of a new type of magnetoresistance in Pt and Ta thin films. The spin accumulation created at the surfaces of the film by the spin Hall effect decreases in a magnetic field because of the Hanle effect, resulting in an…
Recent search for optical analogues of topological phenomena mainly focuses on mimicking the key feature of quantum Hall and quantum spin Hall effects (QHE and QSHE): edge currents protected from disorder. QHE relies on time-reversal…
Dual quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) is a newly discovered topological state in the 2D material TaIrTe$_4$, exhibiting both a traditional $Z_2$ band gap at charge neutrality point and a van Hove singularity (VHS) induced correlated $Z_2$…
We study spin conductivity of the surface states in a thin film of a topological insulator with Kubo formulas. Hybridization between the different sides of the film opens a gap at the Dirac point. We found that in the gapped region spin…
Driven by various physical origins, the interesting reentrant phenomena in quantum Hall effect (QHE), quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) and non-Hermitian systems have been discussed recently. Here, we present that the reentrant phenomena…
The influence of Sb content, substrate type and cap layers on the quantum anomalous Hall effect observed in V-doped (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ magnetic topological insulators is investigated. Thin layers showing excellent quantization are…
A decade of intense research on two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals has revealed that their properties can differ greatly from those of the parent compound. These differences are governed by changes in the band structure due to quantum…
Magnetically doped topological insulators enable the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) which provides quantized edge states for lossless charge transport applications. The edge states are hosted by a magnetic energy gap at the Dirac…
Quantum spin Hall insulators, or synonymously known as 2D topological insulators, are crucial 2D systems hosting topologically protected edge states. The working temperature of this topological quantum phase is dictated by the inverted…
