We explore novel topological responses and axion-like phenomena in three-dimensional insulating systems with spacetime-dependent mass terms encoding domain walls. Via a dimensional-reduction approach, we derive a new axion-electromagnetic…

Ultra-thin 3D topological insulators provide a stage to study the surface physics of such materials by minimizing the bulk contribution. Further, the experimentally verified snowflake like structure of the Fermi surface leads to a hexagonal…

Using topological band theory analysis we show that the nonsymmorphic symmetry operations in hexagonal lattices enforce Weyl points at the screw-invariant high-symmetry lines of the band structure. The corepresentation theory and…

We implement the momentum dissipation introduced by spatial linear axionic fields in a holographic model without self-duality, broke by Weyl tensor coupling to Maxwell field, and study its response. It is found that for the positive Weyl…

Topological defects, such as domain walls and vortices, have long fascinated physicists. A novel twist is added in quantum systems like the B-phase of superfluid helium He$_3$, where vortices are associated with low energy excitations in…

Due to the spin-orbit coupling, Dirac fermions, submerged in a thermal bath with finite macroscopic vorticity, exhibit a spin polarisation along the direction parallel to the vorticity vector $\boldsymbol{\Omega}$. Due to the symmetries of…

We study the mechanism of topological superconductivity in a hierarchical chain of chiral non-linear sigma-models (models of current algebra) in one, two, and three spatial dimensions. The models have roots in the 1D Peierls-Frohlich model…

Theoretical calculations predict the dissipationless circulating current induced by a spin defect in a two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling. The shape and spatial extent of these dissipationless circulating currents depend…

Topological insulators are a novel class of quantum matter with a gapped insulating bulk yet gapless spin helical Dirac fermion conducting surface states. Here, we report local and non-local electrical and magneto transport measurements in…

Recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments have observed a proximity-induced superconducting gap in the helical surface states of a thin film of the 3D topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ grown on a superconducting NbSe$_2$ substrate.…

The conductance at the band edges of one-dimensional fermionic wires, with $N$ sites, has been shown to have subdiffusive $(1/N^2)$ behavior. We investigate this issue in two-dimensional fermionic wires described by a hopping model on an…

We demonstrate that the Higgs mechanism in three-dimensional topological superconductors exhibits unique features with experimentally observable consequences. The Higgs model we discuss has two superconducting components and an axion-like…

The helical electron states on the surface of topological insulators or elemental Bismuth become unstable toward superconducting pairing formation when coupled to the charge or magnetic fluctuations. The latter gives rise to pairing…

Combining strong electron correlations [1-4] and nontrivial electronic topology [5] holds great promise for discovery. So far, this regime has been rarely accessed and systematic studies are much needed to advance the field. Here we…

We present a new mechanism for dissipationless persistent charge current. Two dimensional topological insulators hold dissipationless spin currents in their edges so that, for a given spin orientation, a net charge current flows which is…

Axion insulators are 3D magnetic higher-order topological insulators protected by inversion-symmetry that exhibit hinge-localized chiral channels and induce quantized topological magnetoelectric effects. Recent research has suggested that…

The surface states of topological insulators, which behave as charged massless Dirac fermions, are studied in the presence of a quantizing uniform magnetic field. Using the method of D.H. Lee[1], analytical formula satisfied by the energy…

Inside a three-dimensional strong topological insulator, a tube with $h/2e$ magnetic flux carries a pair of protected one-dimensional linear fermionic modes. This phenomenon is known as the "wormhole effect". In this work, we find that the…

The Abelian Higgs model is an appropriate field theoretic framework for the description of superconductivity and its topological excitations(Nielson-Olesen-Abrikosov vortex). Recently, C.-Y. Hou etl [ Phys. Rev. lett.\textbf{98} 186809…

The question whether the mixed phase of a gapless superconductor can support a Landau level is a celebrated problem in the context of \textit{d}-wave superconductivity, with a negative answer: The scattering of the subgap excitations…
