When a Mott metal-insulator transition is inhibited by a small amount of disorder in the layered dichalcogenide 1T-TaS$_2$, an inhomogeneous superconducting state arises below T=2.1 K, and coexists with a nearly-commensurate…
Pure Topological Insulating materials preserve a unique electronic state comprising of bulk insulating gap and conducting surface states. Here we use bulk Bi2Se3 single crystals possessing Se vacancy defects as a prototype topological…
Magnetic topological insulators (MTI) constitute a novel class of materials where the topologically protected band structure coexists with long-range ferromagnetic order, which can lead to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry (TRS),…
Crystalline two-dimensional (2D) superconductors with low carrier density are an exciting new class of materials in which superconductivity coexists with strong interactions, the effects of complex topology are not obscured by disorder, and…

Since the three dimensional (3D) Dirac semi-metal Cd$_3$As$_2$ exists close to topological phase boundaries, in principle it should be possible to drive it into exotic new phases, like topological superconductors, by breaking certain…
