We report the temperature evolution of the Dirac band in semiconducting zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe$_5$) using magneto-infrared spectroscopy. We find that the band gap is temperature independent at low temperatures and increases with…

We report $^{125}$Te NMR measurements of the topological quantum material ZrTe$_5$. Spin-lattice relaxation results, well-explained by a theoretical model of Dirac electron systems, reveal that the topological characteristic of ZrTe$_5$ is…

ZrTe$_5$ and HfTe$_5$ have attracted increasingly attention recently since the theoretical prediction of being topological insulators (TIs). However, subsequent works show many contradictions about their topological nature.Three possible…

Novel phases of matter with unique properties that emerge from quantum and topological protection present an important thrust of modern research. Of particular interest is to engineer these phases on demand using ultrafast external stimuli,…

The topological materials have attracted much attention recently. While three-dimensional topological insulators are becoming abundant, two-dimensional topological insulators remain rare, particularly in natural materials. ZrTe5 has host a…

We study the effects of temperature on the topological nature of ZrTe$_5$, which sits near the phase boundary between strong and weak topological insulating orders. Using first-principles calculations, we show that the band gap and the…

In this report, we demonstrate that the energy gap in Cr-doped Bi2Se3 closes and reopens in oscillatory fashion with increasing sample thickness indicating the topological quantum phase transition driven by the quantum finite size effect.…

The layered van der Waals material ZrTe$_5$ is known as a candidate topological insulator (TI), however its topological phase and the relation with other properties such as an apparent Dirac semimetallic state is still a subject of debate.…

ZrTe$_5$ is considered a potential candidate for either a Dirac semimetal or a topological insulator in close proximity to a topological phase transition. Recent optical conductivity results motivated a two-band model with a conical…

We report a transport, thermodynamic, and spectroscopic study of the recently identified topological semiconductor ZrTe$_5$ with a focus on elucidating the connections between its band structure and unusual thermoelectric properties. Using…

Recent Angle-Resolved Photo-emission Spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 046402 (2023)] on PdTe, a 3D-Dirac semimetal and a superconductor with the transition temperature Tc ~ 4.3 K, have revealed compelling evidence of…

High-resolution time- and angle-resolved photoemission measurements were conducted on the topological insulator ZrTe5. With strong femtosecond photoexcitation, a possible ultrafast phase transition from a weak to a strong topological…

Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe$_{5}$), a system with a Dirac linear band across the Fermi level and anomalous transport features, has attracted considerable research interest for it is predicted to be located at the boundary between strong…

Using Landau level spectroscopy, we determine the temperature dependence of the energy band gap in zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe$_5$). We find that the band gap reaches $E_g=(5 \pm 1)$ meV at low temperatures and increases monotonously…

The complex electronic properties of $\mathrm{ZrTe_5}$ have recently stimulated in-depth investigations that assigned this material to either a topological insulator or a 3D Dirac semimetal phase. Here we report a comprehensive experimental…

Although, the long-standing debate on the resistivity anomaly in ZrTe$_{5}$ somewhat comes to an end, the exact topological nature of the electronic band structure remains elusive till today. Theoretical calculations predicted that bulk…

There is a long-standing confusion concerning the physical origin of the anomalous resistivity peak in transition metal pentatelluride HfTe5. Several mechanisms, like the formation of charge density wave or polaron, have been proposed, but…

We have performed a systematic high-momentum-resolution photoemission study on ZrTe$_5$ using $6$ eV photon energy. We have measured the band structure near the $\Gamma$ point, and quantified the gap between the conduction and valence band…

ZrTe$_5$ is a newly discovered topological material. Shortly after a single layer ZrTe$_5$ had been predicted to be a two-dimensional topological insulator, a handful of experiments have been carried out on bulk ZrTe$_5$ crystals, which…

We combine transport, magnetization, and torque magnetometry measurements to investigate the electronic structure of ZrTe5 and its evolution with temperature. At fields beyond the quantum limit, we observe a magnetization reversal from…
