Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter with surface states protected by the time-reversal symmetry. In this work, we perform first-principle electronic structure calculations for $Sb_2Te_3$, $Sb_2Se_3$, $Bi_2Te_3$ and…

Magnetic topological quantum materials display a diverse range of fascinating physical properties which arise from their intrinsic magnetism and the breaking of time-reversal symmetry. However, so far, few examples of intrinsic magnetic…

Heterostructures of topological insulators and ferromagnets offer new opportunities in spintronics and a route to novel anomalous Hall states. In one such structure, EuS/Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ a dramatic enhancement of the Curie temperature was…

A delicate tension complicates the relationship between the topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) in three-dimensional (3D) $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulators (TIs) and time-reversal symmetry (TRS). TRS underlies a particular…

We study the effect of stacking faults on the topological properties of the magnetic topological insulator MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ (MBT) using density functional theory calculations and the Hubbard $U$ being tuned with many-body diffusion Monte…

The thermal conductivity of the doped topological crystalline insulator, Sn$_{0.6}$In$_{0.4}$Te superconducting single crystal with $T_c =$ 4.1 K, was measured down to 50 mK. It is found that the residual linear term $\kappa_0/T$ is…

We consider an interface between two strong time-reversal invariant topological insulators having surface states with opposite spin chirality, or equivalently, opposite mirror Chern number. We show that such an interface supports gapless…

A comparative study of the properties of topological insulator Bi2Te2Se (BTS) crystals grown by the vertical Bridgeman method is described. Two defect mechanisms that create acceptor impurities to compensate for the native n-type carriers…

In a topological insulator (TI)/magnetic insulator (MI) hetero-structure, large spin-orbit coupling of the TI and inversion symmetry breaking at the interface could foster non-planar spin textures such as skyrmions at the interface. This is…

Topological insulators(1-8) are a novel form of matter which features metallic surface states with quasirelativistic dispersion similar to graphene(9). Unlike graphene, the locking of spin and momentum and the protection by time-reversal…

We report magnetotransport measurements in the NbN/ magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 (MBT)/ NbN junction at low temperature. At 10 mK, the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of the junction shows a tunneling behavior,…

In topological crystalline insulators the topological conducting surface states are protected by crystal symmetry, in principle making it possible to pattern nanoscale insulating and conductive motifs solely by breaking local symmetries on…

Using ab initio electronic structure calculations we investigate the change of the band structure and the nu_0 topological invariant in HgSe (non-centrosymmetric system) under two different type of uniaxial strain along the [001] and [110]…

Evolution of electronic inhomogeneities with back-gate voltage in graphene on SiO$_2$ was studied using room temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The reversal of local contrast in some places in the STS maps and sharp…

We calculate the local density of states of two prototypical topological insulators (Bi$_2$Se$_3$ and Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se) as a function of distance from the surface within density functional theory. We find that, in the absence of disorder or…

Topological superconductors should be able to provide essential ingredients for quantum computing, but are very challenging to realize. Spin-orbit interaction in iron-based superconductors opens the energy gap between the $p$-states of…

When a topological insulator (TI) is in contact with a ferromagnet, both time reversal and inversion symmetries are broken at the interface. An energy gap is formed at the TI surface, and its electrons gain a net magnetic moment through…

We report a transport study of exfoliated few monolayer crystals of topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ in an electric field effect (EFE) geometry. By doping the bulk crystals with Ca, we are able to fabricate devices with sufficiently low…

We construct quasi one-dimensional topological and non-topological three-band lattices with tunable band gap and winding number of the flat band. Using mean field (MF) and exact density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations, we…

Surface magnetism and its correlation with the electronic structure are critical to understand the gapless topological surface state in the intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi$_2$Te$_4$. Here, using static and time resolved…
