Using a density functional based electronic structure method, we study the effect of perturbations on the surface state Dirac cone of a strong topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ from both the intrinsic and extrinsic sources. We consider…

We use magneto-conductivity to study the magnetic proximity effect on surface states of doped topological insulators. Our bilayers consist of a layer of Fe$_7$Se$_8$, which is a metallic ferrimagnet and a layer of…

First-principles calculations are performed to study the electronic structures and topological phases of magnetic layered materials MnBi2Te4, MnBi2Se4 and MnSb2Te4 under different film thicknesses, strains and spin-orbit coupling (SOC)…

The concept of topological insulator (TI) has introduced a new point of view to condensed-matter physics, relating a priori unrelated subfields such as quantum (spin, anomalous) Hall effects, spin-orbit coupled materials, some classes of…

We investigate a magnetic proximity effect on Dirac surface states of topological insulator (TI) induced by a Bi$_2$Se$_3$/EuS interface, using density-functional theory (DFT) and a low-energy effective model, motivated by a recent…

Weak topological insulators, constructed by stacking quantum spin Hall insulators with weak interlayer coupling, offer promising quantum electronic applications through topologically nontrivial edge channels. However, the currently…

It is crucial for the studies of the transport properties and quantum effects related to Dirac surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators (3D TIs) to be able to simultaneously tune the chemical potentials of both top and…

The interplay between magnetism and non-trivial topology in magnetic topological insulators (MTI) is expected to give rise to a variety of exotic topological quantum phenomena, such as the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect and the…

Twisting the stacking of layered materials leads to rich new physics. A three dimensional (3D) topological insulator film host two dimensional gapless Dirac electrons on top and bottom surfaces, which, when the film is below some critical…

Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) near "magic angles" has emerged as a rich platform for strongly correlated states of two-dimensional Dirac semimetals. Here we show that twisted bilayers of thin-film magnetic topological insulators (MTI) with…

The recent discovered intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 have been met with unusual success in hosting emergent phenomena such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect and the axion insulator states. However, the surface-bulk…

We report the successful formation of bulk insulating ternary topological insulators candidate Bi2Se2Te (BST) by pulsed laser deposition technique. The films were deposited with sequential ablation of separate Bi2Se3 (BS) and Bi2Te3 (BT)…

In ultra-thin film of topological insulator, the hybridization between the top and bottom surfaces opens an energy gap and forms two degenerate quantum anomalous Hall states, which give rise to a quantum spin Hall state. In this paper, we…

Three-dimensional (3-D) topological insulators (TI) are characterized by the presence of metallic surface states and a bulk band gap. Recently theoretical and experimental studies have shown an induced gap in the surface state bands of TI…

Aiming at the future spintronics device applications of the spin-polarized surface states in three-dimensional topological insulator, a highly insulating bulk state and a tunable Dirac cone surface state are required. Here we employ a slab…

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…
