The quantum anomalous Hall state with a large band gap and a high Chern number is significant for practical applications in spintronics. By performing first-principles calculations, we investigate electronic properties of the fully…

The current burst in research activities on disordered semiconductors calls for the development of appropriate theoretical tools that reveal the features of electron states in random potentials while avoiding the time-consuming numerical…

Propagation of an electron wave packet through a quantum point contact (QPC) defined by electrostatic gates in bilayer graphene is investigated. The gates provide a bias between the layers, in order to produce an energy gap. If the gates on…

Motivated by a recent experiment (Sanchez-Yamagishi et.al, arXiv:1602.06815) reporting evidence of helical spin-polarized edge states in layer-biased twisted bilayer graphene under a magnetic flux, we study the possibility of stabilising a…

We study the suppression of the conductance quantization in quantum spin Hall systems by a combined effect of electronic interactions and edge disorder, that is ubiquitous in exfoliated and CVD grown 2D materials. We show that the interplay…

The electronic states in a corner-overgrown bent GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well heterostructure are studied with numerical Hartree simulations. Transmission electron microscope pictures of the junction justify the sharp-corner assumption. In a…

Quantum spin Hall effect was first predicted in graphene. However, the weak spin orbit interaction in graphene meant that the search for quantum spin Hall effect in graphene never fructified. In this work we show how to generate the quantum…

We introduce a new spin filter based on spin-resolved Fano resonances due to spin-split levels in a quantum ring (QR) side-coupled to a quantum wire (QW). Spin-orbit coupling inside the QR, together with external magnetic fields, induces…

A two-dimensional electron system placed in a magnetic field develops Landau levels, where strong Coulomb interactions lead to the appearance of many-body correlated ground states. Quantum numbers similar to the electron spin enable the…

Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in magnetic topological insulator (TI) is a novel transport phenomenon in which the Hall resistance reaches the quantum plateau in the absence of external magnetic field. Recently, this exotic effect has…

Perfect drain for the Maxwell Fish Eye (MFE) is a non-magnetic dissipative region placed in the focal point to absorb all the incident radiation without reflection or scattering. The perfect drain was recently designed as a material with…

The exploration of binary valley degree of freedom in topological photonic systems has inspired many intriguing optical phenomena such as photonic Hall effect, robust delay lines, and perfect out-coupling refraction. In this work, we…

Valley-Hall phases, first proposed in two-dimensional (2D) materials, originate from nontrivial topologies around valleys which denote local extrema in momentum space. Since they are extended into classical systems, their designs draw…

Fractional quantum Hall states (FQHSs) at even-denominator Landau level filling factors ($\nu$) are of prime interest as they are predicted to host exotic, topological states of matter. We report here the observation of a FQHS at $\nu=1/2$…

One of the key problems in valleytronics is to realize valley polarization. Ferrovalley (FV) semiconductor and half-valley-metal (HVM) have been proposed, which possess intrinsic spontaneous valley polarization. Here, we propose the concept…

The quantum Hall effect (QHE) is a topologically protected phenomenon which has been observed in various systems. In experiments, the size of Hall bar device to realize the QHE is generally much larger than the phase coherence length, in…

Recent years have witnessed tremendous success in the discovery of topological states of matter. Particularly, sophisticated theoretical methods in time-reversal-invariant topological phases have been developed, leading to the comprehensive…

We show that a quasiperiodic magnetic chain comprising magnetic atomic sites sequenced in Fibonacci pattern can act as a prospective candidate for spin filters for particles with arbitrary spin states. This can be achieved by tuning a…

Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, a new class of quantum matters, can support topologically protected helical edge modes inside bulk insulating gap, which can lead to dissipationless transport. A major obstacle to reach wide application…

We develop a scenario to engineer a topological phase with Majorana edge states based on an integer quantum Hall (QH) system proximity coupled to a superconductor (SC). Due to the vortices in the SC order parameter, the SC - QH hybrid…
