We report the pressure (p_max = 1.5 GPa) evolution of the crystal structure of the Weyl semimetal T_d-MoTe_2 by means of neutron diffraction experiments. We find that the fundamental non-centrosymmetric structure T_d is fully suppressed and…
A grand challenge underlies the entire field of topology-enabled quantum logic and information science: how to establish topological control principles driven by quantum coherence and understand the time-dependence of such periodic driving?…
We report thermoelectric (TE) properties of topological surface Dirac states (TSDS) in three-dimensional topological insulators (3D-TIs) purely isolated from the bulk by employing single crystal Bi$_{2-x}$Sb$_x$Te$_{3-y}$Se$_y$ films…
The pentatellurides, ZrTe5 and HfTe5 are layered compounds with one dimensional transition-metal chains that show a never understood temperature dependent transition in transport properties as well as recently discovered properties…
A Weyl semimetallic state with pairs of nondegenerate Dirac cones in three dimensions was recently predicted to occur in the antiferromagnetic state of the pyrochlore iridates. Here, we show that the THz optical conductivity and temperature…
We investigate the phase diagram of moir\'e double bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides with ABBA stacking as a function of twist angle and applied pressure. At hole filling $\nu = 2$ per moir\'e unit cell, the noninteracting system…
A newly discovered topological insulator (AgxPb1-xSe)5(Bi2Se3)3m, m=2, has a band gap of 0.5 eV, the largest value ever reported in topological insulators (TIs). We present a magnetoconductivity study of the Dirac electrons of this compound…
We report measurements of the electrical resistivity ($\rho$) and thermoelectric power (S) in a thin film of strained single-crystalline $\alpha$-Sn grown by molecular beam epitaxy on an insulating substrate. The temperature (T) dependence…
A picture of thermal QCD phase change based on the analogy with metal-to-insulator transition of Anderson type was proposed in the past. In this picture, a low-$T$ thermal state is akin to a metal with deeply infrared (IR) Dirac modes…
Single crystalline bismuth (Bi) is known to have a peculiar electronic structure which is very close to the topological phase transition. The modification of the surface states of Bi depending on the temperature are revealed by…
The carrier dynamics and electronic structures of type-II Weyl semimetal candidates MoTe$_2$ and WTe$_2$ have been investigated by using temperature-dependent optical conductivity [$\sigma(\omega)$] spectra. Two kinds of Drude peaks (narrow…
PuCoGa5 has attracted significant attention due to its record-breaking superconducting transition temperature Tc=18.5 K among known f-electron superconductors. Here we systematically investigated the evolution of correlated electronic…
Recently, ZrTe5 and HfTe5 are theoretically studied to be the most promising layered topological insulators since they are both interlayer weakly bonded materials and also with a large bulk gap in the single layer. It paves a new way for…
We present a study of the superconducting energy gap performed with point contact spectroscopy in a single crystal of the superconductor Zr0:97V0:03B2. We determined the size and evolution with temperature of the energy gap, the transition…
Three-dimensional topological semimetals hosting Dirac or Weyl fermions are a new kind of materials class in which conduction and valence bands cross each other. Such materials harbor a nontrivial Berry phase, which is an additional…
The ground states of noninteracting fermions in one-dimension with chiral symmetry form a class of topological band insulators, described by a topological invariant that can be related to the Zak phase. Recently, a generalization of this…
We have investigated the weak antilocalization (WAL) in the pressurized Dirac semimetal $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ across a correlation-driven quantum phase transition to a charge-ordered insulating state and evaluated the phase coherence…
We use laser-based Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) to study how chemical substitution modifies the electronic properties of the Bi2(Se{1-x}Tex)3 (BiSeTe) family of topological insulators. We find that increasing the Te…
$\beta$-Ag$_2$Se is a promising material for room temperature thermoelectric applications and magneto-resistive sensors. However, no attention was paid earlier to the hysteresis in the temperature dependence of resistivity ($\rho$($T$)).…
We report a theoretical \textit{ab-initio} study of $\beta$-As$_2$Te$_3$ ($R\bar{3}m$ symmetry) at hydrostatic pressures up to 12 GPa. We have systematically characterized the vibrational and electronic changes of the system induced by the…
