High resolution spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (spin-ARPES) was performed on the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ using a recently developed high-efficiency spectrometer. The topological surface…
A substantial challenge in guiding elastic waves is the presence of reflection and scattering at sharp edges, defects, and disorders. Recently, mechanical topological insulators have sought to overcome this challenge by supporting…
In this Letter, a tunable valley polarization is investigated for honeycomb systems with broken inversion symmetry such as transition-metal dichalcogenide MX2 (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) monolayers through elliptical pumping. As compared to…
Silicene and germanene are key materials for the field of valleytronics. However, interaction with the substrate, which is necessary to support the electronically active medium, becomes a major obstacle. In the present work, we propose a…
So far, selective excitation of a desired valley in the Brillouin zone of a hexagonal two-dimensional material has relied on using circularly polarized fields. We theoretically demonstrate a way to induce, control, and read valley…
Monolayer $MoS_2$ is a typical valleytronic material with valley-spin locked valence bands. We numerically investigate the valley-spin polarized current in monolayer $\rm MoS_2$ via adiabatic electron pumping. By introducing an exchange…

Recent years have witnessed great interest in the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) which is a new quantum state of matter with nontrivial topological property due to the scientific importance as a novel quantum state and the technological…
The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit…
We show that the interplay between chiral tunneling and spin-momentum locking of helical surface states leads to spin amplification and filtering in a 3D Topological Insulator (TI). Chiral tunneling across a TI pn junction allows normally…
Valley-based topological phases offer a wealth of exotic quantum states with tunable functionalities, driven by the valley degree of freedom. In this work, by constructing heterostructures of germanene (silicene, stanene) on various…
Valleytronics is rapidly emerging as an exciting area of basic and applied research. In two dimensional systems, valley polarisation can dramatically modify physical properties through electron-electron interactions as demonstrated by such…
The substrate-induced topological phase transition of silience is a formidable obstacle for developing silicene-based materials and devices for compatibility with current electronics by using its topologically protected dissipationless edge…
Time-periodic perturbations can be used to engineer topological properties of matter by altering the Floquet band structure. This is demonstrated for a spin Hall insulator in the presence of monochromatic circularly polarized light. The…
Topological phononic states, facilitating acoustic unique transports immunizing to defects and disorders, have significantly revolutionized our scientific cognition of acoustic wave systems. Up to now, the theoretical and experimental…

Utilizing synthetic dimensions generated by spatial or temporal modulation, topological pumping enables the exploration of higher-dimensional topological phenomena through lower-dimensional physical systems. In this letter, we propose a…
$\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulators for photons and in general bosons cannot be strictly implemented because of the lack of symmetry-protected pseudospins. We show that the required protection can be provided by the real-space topological…
