Topological Kondo insulators are strongly correlated materials, where itinerant electrons hybridize with localized spins giving rise to a topologically non-trivial band structure. Here we use non-perturbative bosonization and…
In this Book Chapter (invited) we briefly review the basic concepts defining topological insulators and focus on elaborating on the key experimental results that revealed and established their symmetry protected (SPT) topological nature. We…
We examine how the properties of the Kondo insulators change when the symmetry of the underlying crystal field multiplets is taken into account. We employ the Anderson lattice model and consider its low-energy physics. We show that in a…
We study a generic topological Kondo insulator system by performing a mean-field theoretic calculation within the frame-work of slave-boson protocol. We assume infinite Hubbard-type interaction among the localized electrons. The difference…
The surface states of 3D topological insulators in general have negligible quantum oscillations when the chemical potential is tuned to the Dirac points. In contrast, we find that topological Kondo insulators can support surface states with…
The unique properties of spin-polarized surface or edge states in topological insulators (TIs) make these quantum coherent systems interesting from the point of view of both fundamental physics and their implementation in low power…
We construct a lattice model for a cubic Kondo insulator consisting of one spin-degenerate $d$ and $f$ orbital at each lattice site. The odd-parity hybridization between the two orbitals permits us to obtain various trivial and topological…
Kondo insulating materials lie outside the usual dichotomy of weakly versus correlated - band versus Mott - insulators. They are metallic at high temperatures but resemble band insulators at low temperatures because of the opening of an…
This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental work on a new class of topological material - topological Kondo insulators, which develop through the interplay of strong correlations and spin-orbit interactions. The history of…
We study surface state plasmonics in the periodic Anderson model of a bulk topological Kondo insulator system, involving strongly correlated f electrons screened by weakly correlated d electrons, performing a mean-field theoretic…
A Kondo insulator (KI) is a prototypical example of a highly entangled phase of matter, where many-body interactions between local moments and delocalized electrons engender the non-magnetic insulating ground state. Conventionally, the…
Topological Surface States (TSS) represent new types of two dimensional electron systems with novel and unprecedented properties distinct from any quantum Hall-like or spin-Hall effects. Their Z$_2$ topological order can be realized at room…
Topological insulators, with metallic boundary states protected against time-reversal-invariant perturbations, are a promising avenue for realizing exotic quantum states of matter including various excitations of collective modes predicted…
Magnetic oscillations in strongly correlated insulating systems have garnered interest due to oscillations seemingly originating from the bulk, despite an anticipated gapped spectrum. We use the large-$N$ mean-field theory to study the…
The effect of a local Kondo coupling and Hubbard interaction on the topological phase of the one-dimensional topological Kondo insulator (TKI) is numerically investigated using the infinite matrix-product state density-matrix…
The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade ago has revolutionized modern condensed matter physics. Today, the field of topological states of matter is one of the most active and fruitful…
Topological insulators (TIs) are a class of materials which are insulating in their bulk form yet, upon introduction of an a boundary or edge, e.g. by abruptly terminating the material, may exhibit spontaneous current along their boundary.…
2D topological insulators promise novel approaches towards electronic, spintronic, and quantum device applications. This is owing to unique features of their electronic band structure, in which bulk-boundary correspondences enforces the…
By using an extended slave-boson method, we draw a global phase diagram summarizing both magnetic phases and paramagnetic (PM) topological insulating phases (TI$_s$) in three-dimensional topological Kondo insulator (TKI). By including…
Heavy fermion materials have recently attracted attention for their potential to combine topological protection with strongly correlated electron physics. To date, the ideas of topological protection have been restricted to the heavy…
