Topological insulators are novel macroscopic quantum-mechanical phase of matter, which hold promise for realizing some of the most exotic particles in physics as well as application towards spintronics and quantum computation. In all the…
Three-dimensional (3D) compensated MnBi2Te4 is antiferromagnetic, but undergoes a spin-flop transition at intermediate fields, resulting in a canted phase before saturation. In this work, we experimentally show that the anomalous Hall…
As the first intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator, MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ has provided a platform to investigate the interplay of band topology and magnetism as well as the emergent phenomena arising from such an interplay. Here we…
A prominent feature of topological insulators (TIs) is the surface states comprising of spin-nondegenerate massless Dirac fermions. Recent technical advances have made it possible to address the surface transport properties of TI thin films…
The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), characterized by dissipationless quantized edge transport, relies crucially on a non-trivial topology of the electronic bulk bandstructure and a robust ferromagnetic order that breaks time-reversal…
We explore a two-dimensional Hubbard model adapted to host altermagnetic states. Utilizing Hartree-Fock (HF) and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), we uncover that the magnetic solutions of this model feature Dirac points in their…
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…
A striking feature of time reversal symmetry (TRS) protected topological insulators (TIs) is that they are characterized by a half integer quantum Hall effect on the boundary when the surface states are gapped by time reversal breaking…

Using the k.p theory and first-principles simulations, we report that applying a moderate pressure (> 0.6 GPa) on black phosphorus can diminish its band gap and produce one-dimensional and even two-dimensional (2D) Dirac cones,…
We report on the interplay between atomic scale inhomogeneity and competing magnetic phases and its effect on the anomalous Hall effect in the layered antiferromagnet MnBi$_4$Te$_7$, a natural superlattice hosting coexisting ferromagnetic…
We identify the multi-layered compound GeBi4Te7 to be a topological insulator with a freestanding Dirac point, slightly above the valence band maximum, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. The spin…

The antiferromagnetic (AFM) topological insulator MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ was believed to have a topological surface state (TSS) with large band gap due to the ferromagnetic (FM) order on the surface, and be able to host the long-sought axion…
