Electrostatic gating provides a way to obtain key functionalities in modern electronic devices and to qualitatively alter materials properties. While electrostatic description of such gating gives guidance for related doping effects,…

We show that higher-harmonics exchange scattering from a magnetic adatom on the surface of a three dimensional topological insulator leads to a magnetic anisotropy whose magnitude and sign may be tuned by adjusting the chemical potential of…

We discuss the combined effect of magnetic fields and geometry in interacting fermionic systems. At leading order in the heat-kernel expansion, the infrared singularity (that in flat space leads to the magnetic catalysis) is regulated by…

It is known that the excitations in graphene-like materials in external electromagnetic field are described by solutions of massless two-dimensional Dirac equation which includes both Hermitian off-diagonal matrix and scalar potentials. Up…

Edge states play a major role in the electron dynamics of topological insulators as they are the only conducting part in such materials. In this work, we consider the Haldane model for a 2D topological insulator, subjected to an intense…

Two-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by gapped bulk states and gapless helical edge states, i.e. time-reversal symmetric edge states accommodating a pair of counter-propagating electrons. An external magnetic field…

We study quantum transport and scattering of massless Dirac fermions by spatially localized static magnetic fields. The employed model describes in a unified manner the effects of orbital magnetic fields, Zeeman and exchange fields in…

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…

Mainstream among topological insulators, GaSb/InAs quantum wells present a broken gap alignment for the energy bands which supports the quantum spin Hall insulator phase and forms an important building block in the search of exotic states…

The possibility of topological phase transition with or without a magnetic flux trapped in the cells of a class of decorated lattices is explored in details.Using a tight binding Hamiltonian and a real space decimation scheme we…

The low-energy band-structure of electrons propagating on a lateral surface of a heterostructure consisting of three dimensional topological insulator (TI) and magnetic insulator layers has been calculated. The energy spectrum is highly…

Topological insulators (TIs) and graphene present two unique classes of materials which are characterized by spin polarized (helical) and non-polarized Dirac-cone band structures, respectively. The importance of many-body interactions that…

We propose a surface-edge state theory for half quantized Hall conductance of surface states in topological insulators. The gap opening of a single Dirac cone for the surface states in a weak magnetic field is demonstrated. We find a new…

We study anisotropic lattice strips in the presence of a magnetic field in the quantum Hall effect regime. At specific magnetic fields, causing resonant Umklapp scattering, the system is gapped in the bulk and supports chiral edge states in…

We consider the combined effect of a gap and a Zeeman interaction on the helical Dirac fermions which exist on the surface of a topological insulator. Magneto-optical properties, the magnetization, Hall effect and the density of states are…

We present the exhaustive classification of surface states of topological insulators and superconductors protected by crystallographic magnetic point group symmetry in three spatial dimensions. Recently, Cornfeld and Chapman [Phys. Rev. B…

In a three-dimensional strong topological insulator, gapless helical surface states appear everywhere on its surface. In the presence of a screw dislocation, gapless helical modes also appear in the vicinity of the corresponding dislocation…

We investigate states on the surface of strong and weak topological insulators and superconductors that have been gapped by a symmetry breaking term. The surface of a strong 3D topological insulator gapped by a magnetic material is well…

Starting from the Dirac equation, the relativistic quantum hydrodynamic equations for Dirac electrons on a surface of a three dimensional-topological insulator (TI) are derived and numerically solved to study the spin plasmons. The surface…

We report on microscopic tight-binding modeling of surface states in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ three-dimensional topological insulator, based on a sp$^3$ Slater-Koster Hamiltonian, with parameters calculated from density functional theory. The effect of…
