The magnetization-induced gap at the surface state is widely believed as the kernel of magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) because of its relevance to various topological phenomena, such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect and the axion…
The intrinsic antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer coupling in two-dimensional magnetic topological insulator MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ places a restriction on realizing stable quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) [Y. Deng et al., Science 367, 895…
The interplay of non-trivial band topology and magnetism gives rise to a series of exotic quantum phenomena, such as the emergent quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect and topological magnetoelectric effect. Many of these quantum phenomena…
Magnetic topological insulators can host chiral 1D edge channels at zero magnetic field, when a magnetic gap opens at the Dirac point in the band structure of 2D topological surface states, leading to the quantum anomalous Hall effect in…
MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ has recently been the subject of intensive study, due to the prediction of axion insulator, Weyl semimetal, and quantum anomalous Hall insulator phases, depending on the structure and magnetic ordering. Experimental results…
Highly tunable properties make Mn(Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_4$ a rich playground for exploring the interplay between band topology and magnetism: On one end, MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ is an antiferromagnetic topological insulator, while the magnetic structure of…

We review recent progress in the electronic structure study of intrinsic magnetic topological insulators (MnBi$_2$Te$_4$)(Bi$_2$Te$_3$)$_n$ ($n=0,1,2,3$) family. Specifically, we focus on the ubiquitously (nearly) gapless behavior of the…
Twin domains are naturally present in the topological insulator \BiSe{} and affect strongly its properties. While studies of its behavior for ideal \BiSe{} structure exist, little is known about their possible interaction with other…
Layered van der Waals (vdW) topological materials, especially the recently discovered MnBi$_2$Te$_4$-family magnetic topological insulators (TIs), have aroused great attention. However, there has been a serious debate about whether the…
The interplay between topology and magnetism is essential for realizing novel topological states including the axion insulator, the magnetic Weyl semimetal, etc. An intrinsically ferromagnetic topological material with only the topological…
Meeting of non-trivial topology with magnetism results in novel phases of matter, such as Quantum Anomalous Hall (QAH) or axion insulator phases. Even more exotic states with high and tunable Chern numbers are expected at the contact of…

Topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) is a hallmark response of the topological field theory, which provides a paradigm shift in the study of emergent topological phenomena. However, its direct observation is yet to be realized due to…
