Topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) are classified by topological invariants defined with respect to the crystalline symmetries of their gapped bulk. The bulk-boundary correspondence then links the topological properties of the bulk…
Room-temperature realization of macroscopic quantum phenomena is one of the major pursuits in fundamental physics. The quantum spin Hall state, a topological quantum phenomenon that features a two-dimensional insulating bulk and a helical…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much recent attention because they exhibit various distinct intrinsic properties/functionalities, which are, however, usually not interchangeable. Interestingly, here we propose a generic…
The recent discoveries of higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have shifted the paradigm of topological materials, which was previously limited to topological states at boundaries of materials, to those at boundaries of boundaries,…
Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we explore the feasibility of converting ternary half-Heusler compounds into a new class of three-dimensional topological insulators (3DTI). We demonstrate that the…
Existence of robust edge modes at interfaces of topologically dissimilar systems is one of the most fascinating manifestations of a novel nontrivial state of matter, topological insulators. Such electronic states were originally predicted…
In this review, We discussed the theoretical foundation and experimental discovery of different topological electronic states of material in condensed matter. At first, we briefly reviewed the conventional electronic states, which have been…
We study the topological phase in dipolar-coupled two-dimensional breathing square lattice of magnetic vortices. By evaluating the quantized Chern number and $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$ Berry phase, we obtain the phase diagram and identify that the…
Conventional topological insulators and superconductors have topologically protected nodal points on their boundaries, and the recent interests in nodal-line semimetals only concerned bulk band structures. Here, we present a novel…
The modern theory of electric polarization has recently been extended to higher multipole moments, such as quadrupole and octupole moments. The higher electric multipole insulators are essentially topological crystalline phases protected by…
To explore the non-Euclidean generalization of higher-order topological phenomena, we construct a higher-order topological insulator model in hyperbolic lattices by breaking the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) of quantum spin Hall insulators.…
Topological insulators (TIs) are materials that have a bulk electronic band gap like an ordinary insulator but have protected conducting states on their surface. One of the most interesting properties of TIs is their spin helicity, whereby…
Hybrid superconductor-topological insulator (TI) nanostructures constitute a promising materials platform for exploring proximity-induced superconductivity in systems with topologically protected surface states. A key obstacle has been the…
Recently, it was shown that quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) phase with a gap wide enough for practical applications can be realized in the ultra thin films constructed from two inversely stacked structural elements of trivial band…
We systematically study topological phases of insulators and superconductors (SCs) in 3D. We find that there exist 3D topologically non-trivial insulators or SCs in 5 out of 10 symmetry classes introduced by Altland and Zirnbauer within the…
A fundamental open problem in condensed matter physics is how the dichotomy between conventional and topological band insulators is modified in the presence of strong electron interactions. We show that there are 6 new electronic…
Topological insulators (TIs) are characterized by an insulating bulk and symmetry protected bound state on their boundaries. A "strong" topological insulator is characterized by robust conducting states on \emph{all} boundaries protected by…
Topolectrical circuits have emerged as a pivotal platform for realizing static topological states that are challenging to construct in other systems, facilitating the design of robust circuit devices. In addition to spatial dimensionality,…
I consider higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) created in chi(2) nonlinear medium and based on two-dimensional generalization of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger waveguide array, where transition between trivial and topological phases is…
In principle the stacking of different two-dimensional (2D) materials allows the construction of 3D systems with entirely new electronic properties. Here we propose to realize topological crystalline insulators (TCI) protected by mirror…
