Multi-terminal topological devices are a new generation of electronic devices with quantized properties robust against imperfections. In magnetic topological insulators, dissipationless edge states give functional devices in zero magnetic…
Topological materials in crystal solids, including topological insulators (TIs), topological crystalline insulators (TCIs), topological Dirac semimetals (DSMs), topological Weyl semimetals (WSMs), topological Dirac or Weyl nodal line…
Symmetry-protected topological edge modes are one of the most remarkable phenomena in topological physics. Here, we formulate and quantitatively examine the effect of a quantum bath on these topological edge modes. Using the density matrix…
By coating a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) with a ferromagnetic film supporting an in-plane magnetic vortex, one breaks the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) without generating a mass gap. It rather yields electronic states bound…
Chern insulator phase is shown to emerge in two-dimensional arrays of polariton rings where time-reversal symmetry is broken due to the application of an out-of-plane magnetic field. The interplay of Zeeman splitting with the photonic…
2D topological insulators promise novel approaches towards electronic, spintronic, and quantum device applications. This is owing to unique features of their electronic band structure, in which bulk-boundary correspondences enforces the…
The tunability of topological surface states and controllable opening of the Dirac gap are of great importance to the application of topological materials. In topological crystalline insulators (TCIs), crystal symmetry and topology of…
A real Chern insulator (RCI) featuring a real Chern number and a second-order boundary mode appears in a two-dimensional (2D) system with the space-time inversion symmetry (PT ). Here, we propose a kind of RCI: mirror real Chern insulator…
From the low-energy model, the topological field theory indicates that the surface magnetization can open a surface gap in 3D topological insulators (TIs), resulting in a half-quantized Hall conductance. Here by employing the realistic…
For decades, the topological phenomena in quantum systems have always been catching our attention. Recently, there are many interests on the systems where topologically protected edge states exist, even in the presence of non-Hermiticity.…
Symmetry Protected Topological (SPT) phases are a minimal generalization of the concept of topological insulators to interacting systems. In this paper we describe the classification and properties of such phases for three dimensional(3D)…
Topological metals possess gapless band structures accompanied with nontrivial edge states. Topological metals are created from the topological insulators by adjusting the magnetic flux. Here we propose the time-reversal symmetry protected…
We propose magnonic analogs of topological crystalline insulators which possess Dirac surface states protected by the combined symmetry of time-reversal and half translation. Constructing models of the topological magnon systems, we…
We construct exactly soluble lattice models for fractionalized, time reversal invariant electronic insulators in 2 and 3 dimensions. The low energy physics of these models is exactly equivalent to a non-interacting topological insulator…
Superconductors (SCs) with nontrivial topological band structures in the normal state have been discovered recently in bulk materials. When such SCs are made into thin films, quantum tunneling and Cooper pairing take place between the…
We report direct imaging of standing waves of the nontrivial surface states of topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_3$ by using a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The interference fringes are caused by the scattering of the…
In topological materials, dissipationless edge currents are protected against local defect scattering by the bulk inverted band structure and band gap. We propose that large uniaxial strain can effectively switch a 2D Chern insulator to a…
Chern insulator or quantum anomalous Hall state is a topological state with integer Hall conductivity but in absence of Landau level. It had been well established on various two-dimensional lattices with periodic structure. Here, we report…
Using the infinite density matrix renormalization group method on an infinite cylinder geometry, we characterize the $1/3$ fractional Chern insulator state in the Haldane honeycomb lattice model at $\nu=1/3$ filling of the lowest band and…
We introduce a simple method to realize and detect photonic topological Chern insulators with one-dimensional circiut quantum electrodynamics arrays. By periodically modulating the couplings of the array, we show that this one-dimensional…
