We show that the interplay between antiferromagnetic interaction and hole motion gives rise to a topological superconducting phase. This is captured by the one dimensional anisotropic $t-J$ model which can be experimentally achieved with…
Topological insulators exhibit gapless edge or surface states that are topologically protected by time-reversal symmetry. However, several promising candidates for topologically insulating materials (such as Bi$_2$Se$_3$ and HgTe) contain…
Chiral surface states in topological insulators are robust against interactions, non-magnetic disorder and localization, yet topology does not yield protection in transport. This work presents a theory of interacting topological insulators…
We study Kondo physics of a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ impurity in electronic matter with strong spin-orbit interaction, which can be realized by depositing magnetic adatoms on the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator. We show that…
Using density functional theory calculations with a Hubbard $U$, we explore topologically nontrivial phases in $X_2$O$_3$ honeycomb layers with $X=$ $4d$ and $5d$ cation inserted in the band insulator $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ along the…
Constant energy contour (CEC) of the surface bands in topological insulators varies not only with materials but also at different energies. The quasiparticle interference caused by scattering-off from defects on the surface of topological…
The prospective of optically inducing a spin polarized current for spintronic devices has generated a vast interest in the out-of-equilibrium electronic and spin structure of topological insulators (TIs). In this Letter we prove that only…
ARPES studies of the protected surface states in the Topological Insulator $% Bi_{2}Te_{3}$ have revealed the existence of an important hexagonal warping term in its electronic band structure. This term distorts the shape of the Dirac cone…
We investigate the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with intrinsic spin orbit interactions as a paradigm for two-dimensional topological band insulators in the presence of interactions. Applying a combination of Hartree-Fock theory,…
We explore a combined effect of hexagonal warping and of finite effective mass on both the tunneling density of electronic states (TDOS) and structure of Landau levels (LLs) of 3D topological insulators. We find the increasing warping to…
We introduce two dimensional fermionic band models with two orbitals per lattice site, or one spinful orbital, and which have a non-zero topological Chern number that can be changed by varying the ratio of hopping parameters. A…
Topological insulators are a class of solids in which the nontrivial inverted bulk band structure gives rise to metallic surface states that are robust against impurity scattering. In three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators, however,…
Strong spin-orbit coupling, resulting in the formation of spin-momentum-locked surface states, endows topological insulators with superior spin-to-charge conversion characteristics, though the dynamics that govern it have remained elusive.…
Dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) possesses characteristics different from the conventional isotropic s-wave interaction in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the interplay of DDI with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and rotation may induce novel…
We propose a new correlated topological state which we call a higher-order topological Mott insulator (HOTMI). This state exhibits a striking bulk-boundary correspondence due to electron correlations. Namely, the topological properties in…
Superpositions of spin helices can yield topological spin textures, such as two-dimensional vortices and skyrmions, and three-dimensional hedgehogs. Their topological nature and spatial dimensionality depend on the number and relative…
Electrons on the surface of a strong topological insulator, such as Bi2Te3 or Bi1-xSnx, form a topologically protected helical liquid whose excitation spectrum contains an odd number of massless Dirac fermions. A theoretical survey and…
Band topology, or global wave-function structure that enforces novel properties in the bulk and on the surface of crystalline materials, is currently under intense investigations for both fundamental interest and its technological promises.…
Lowering of the thickness of a thin-film three-dimensional topological insulator down to a few nanometers results in the gap opening in the spectrum of topologically protected two-dimensional surface states. This phenomenon, which is…
Topological insulators in three dimensions are studied as a problem of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The spin-orbit coupling is induced as a consequence of the supersymmetrization procedure and we show that it is equivalent to the…
