The original motivation of great interest to topological insulators was the hope to observe the quantum spin Hall effect. Therefore if a material is in the topological insulator state they frequently call it the quantum spin Hall state.…
Band inversion is a known feature in a wide range of topological insulators characterized by a change of orbital type around a high-symmetry point close to the Fermi level. In some cases of band inversion in topological insulators, the…
Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are materials that feature an insulating bulk and host edge states protected by time-reversal symmetry. The helical locking of spin and momentum in these states suppresses backscattering of charge…
