Topological insulators are bulk insulators with exotic surface states, protected under time-reversal symmetry, that hold promise in observing many exciting condensed-matter phenomena. In this report, we show that by having a topological…

Inducing magnetism onto a topological crystalline insulator (TCI) has been predicted to result in several novel quantum electromagnetic effects. This is a consequence of the highly strain-sensitive band topology of such symmetry-protected…

Topological surface-states can acquire an energy gap when time-reversal symmetry is broken by interfacing with a magnetic insulator. This gap has yet to be measured. Such topological-magnetic insulator heterostructures can host a quantized…

Spatial confinement of electronic topological surface states (TSS) in topological insulators poses a formidable challenge because TSS are protected by time-reversal symmetry. In previous works formation of a gap in the electronic spectrum…

Using angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy we investigate the surface electronic structure of the three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) Sb2Te3(0001). Our data show the presence of a topological surface state in the bulk energy…

Interfaces between two topological insulators are of fundamental interest in condensed matter physics. Inspired by experimental efforts, we study interfacial processes between two slabs of BiSbTeSe2 (BSTS) via first principles calculations.…

Topological insulators are new states of matter with a bulk gap and robust gapless surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry. When time-reversal symmetry is broken, the surface states are gapped, which induces a topological…

The interface between topological and normal insulators hosts metallic states that appear due to the change in band topology. While these topological states at a surface, i.e., a topological insulator-air/vacuum interface, have been studied…

Introducing magnetic order into a topological insulator (TI) system has been attracting much attention with an expectation of realizing exotic phenomena such as quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) or axion insulator states. The magnetic…

Hybrid semiconductor-ferromagnetic insulator heterostructures are interesting due to their tunable electronic transport, self-sustained stray field and local proximitized magnetic exchange. In this work, we present lattice matched hybrid…

Recently, the EuS/InAs interface has attracted attention for the possibility of inducing magnetic exchange correlations in a strong spin-orbit semiconductor, which could be useful for topological quantum devices. We use density functional…

Interfaces between exfoliated topological insulator Bi2Se3 and several transition metals deposited by sputtering were studied by XPS, SIMS, UPS and contact I-V measurements. Chemically clean interfaces can be achieved when coating Bi2Se3…

The tunability of topological surface states and controllable opening of the Dirac gap are of great importance to the application of topological materials. In topological crystalline insulators (TCIs), crystal symmetry and topology of…

We probe the local magnetic properties of interfaces between the insulating ferromagnet EuS and the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ using low energy muon spin rotation (LE-$\mu$SR). We compare these to the interface between EuS and the…

By means of relativistic density functional theory (DFT) calculations we study electron band structure of the topological insulator (TI) Bi$_2$Se$_3$ thin films deposited on the ferromagnetic insulator (FMI) EuS substrate. In the…

To further investigate the interplay between ferromagnetism and topological insulators, thin films of the low-carrier topological insulator (Bi$_x$Sb$_{1-x}$)$_2$Te$_3$ were deposited on the insulating ferromagnet EuS (100) in situ. AC…

Whereas SnTe is a inverted band gap topological crystalline insulator, the topological phase of the alloy Sn_{1-x}In_xTe, a topological superconductor candidate, has not been clearly studied so far. Our calculations show that the…
