We study the properties of a thin film of topological insulator material. We treat the coupling between helical states at opposite surfaces of the film in the properly-adapted tunneling approximation, and show that the tunneling matrix…
Recently there have been several proposals on exciton-polariton topological insulators, most requiring strong external magnetic fields induced by bulky superconducting coils. We propose an alternate design for a polariton topological…
The axion is a hypothetical but experimentally undetected particle. Recently, the antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ has been predicted to host the axion insulator, but the experimental evidence remains elusive.…
In this letter, we propose a mechanism to control the magnetic properties of topological quantum material (TQM) by using magnetoelectric coupling: this mechanism uses a heterostructure of TQM with two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric…
In cosmology, the axion is a hypothetical particle that is currently considered as candidate for dark matter. In condensed matter, a counterpart of the axion (the "axion quasiparticle") has been predicted to emerge in magnetoelectric…
Neodymium is a remarkable active component in numerous magnetic alloys that are used in various applications. However, the application of bare neodymium thin film is limited due to the lack of information about its electrical and magnetic…
