We report the growth of high-quality c-axis-oriented epitaxial MgB2 thin films by using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The thin films grown on (1`1 0 2) Al2O3 substrates show a Tc of 39 K. The critical current density in zero field is…

Topological superconductors (TSCs) have a full gap in the bulk and gapless surface states consisting of Majorana fermions, which have potential applications in fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. Because TSCs are very rare in…

Metal chalcogenides are promising layered topological materials, yet their electronic performance is often limited by parasitic bulk conduction arising from defects that introduce excess carriers and shift the Fermi level out of the…

Topological materials have been discovered so far largely by searching for existing compounds in crystallographic databases, but there are potentially new topological materials with desirable features that have not been synthesized. One of…

Either in bulk form, or when exfoliated into atomically thin crystals, layered transition metal dichalcogenides are continuously leading to the discovery of new phenomena. The latest example is provided by 1T'-WTe$_2$, a semimetal recently…

Based on DFT calculation, we predict that BiCN, i.e., bilayer Bi films passivated with -CN group, is a novel 2D Bi-based material with highly thermodynamic stability, and demonstrate that it is also a new kind of 2D TI with a giant SOC gap…

We study transport and optical properties of the surface states which lie in the bulk energy gap of a thin-film topological insulator. When the film thickness is comparable with the surface state decay length into the bulk, the tunneling…

Topological insulators can be seen as band-insulators with a conducting surface. The surface carriers are Dirac particles with an energy which increases linearly with momentum. This confers extraordinary transport properties characteristic…

We show that in the new topological-insulator compound Bi_{1.5}Sb_{0.5}Te_{1.7}Se_{1.3} one can achieve a surfaced-dominated transport where the surface channel contributes up to 70% of the total conductance. Furthermore, it was found that…

Topological insulators (TIs) are emergent materials with unique band structure, which allow the study of quantum effect in solids, as well as contribute to high performance quantum devices. To achieve the better performance of TI, here we…

The single layer of Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) has been predicted to be a large-gap two-dimensional (2D) topological insulator, which has attracted particular attention in the topological phase transitions and potential device…

Thin films of the topological insulator (BiSb)$_2$Te$_3$ oriented along the [0001] direction were grown via molecular beam epitaxy on substrates of Al$_2$O$_3$ (0001) and MgF$_2$ (110) single crystals, as well as on an epitaxial thin film…

High–quality epitaxial YNixMn1-xO3 thin films have been successfully grown on SrTiO3 (100) (STO) by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the films deposited on STO are fully c-axis oriented and exhibit…

Topological insulators have been predicted to exhibit a variety of interesting phenomena including a quantized magnetoelectric response and novel spintronics effects due to spin textures on their surfaces. However, experimental observation…

Two-dimensional materials have attracted growing interest due to their unique electronic properties and potential applications in spintronics. Interfacing strongly spin-orbit-coupled chalcogenides with functional oxides such as perovskites…

Magnetic impurities provide a route toward increasing functionality in electronic materials, often enabling new device concepts and architectures. In the case of topological semimetals, dilute magnetic doping presents a particularly…

Surface states of topological insulators (TIs) have been playing the central role in the majority of outstanding investigations in low-dimensional electron systems for more than 10 years. TIs based on high-quality strained HgTe films…

We use first-principles simulations to investigate the topological properties of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ thin films deposited on amorphous SiO2, Bi$_2$Se$_3$/a-SiO$_2$, which is a promising substrate for topological insulator (TI) based device…

Topological superconductors (TSCs) hosting Majorana zero modes (MZMs) offer a pathway to fault-tolerant quantum computation. PdTe is a promising TSC candidate due to its topological surface states and a reasonable superconducting critical…

We report a new, cleavable, strong-topological-metal, Zr2Te2P, which has the same tetradymite-type crystal structure as the topological insulator Bi2Te2Se. Instead of being a semiconductor, however, Zr2Te2P is metallic with a pseudogap…
