Electronic structures associated with the flat (polar) Se/Te- or Tl-terminated surfaces of TlBiSe$_2$ and TlBiTe$_2$ are predicted to harbor not only Dirac cone states, but also trivial dangling bond states near the Fermi energy. However,…
We study the electronic structure of Bi(2)Se(3) employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and discover the dependence of the behavior of Dirac particles on surface terminations. The Dirac cone apex appears at different energies…
Symmetry plays a major role in all disciplines of physics. Within the field of topological materials there is a great interest in understanding how the mechanics of crystalline and internal symmetries protect crossings between the…
Using density functional electronic structure calculations, we establish the consequences of surface termination and modification on protected surface-states of metacinnabar (beta-HgS). Whereas we find that the Dirac cone is isotropic and…
Recently, noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd has attracted considerable research interest due to the possibility of being a topological superconductor. Here, we report a systematic high-resolution angle resolved photoemission…
We describe the topological surface states of Bi$_4$Se$_3$, a compound in the infinitely adaptive Bi$_2$-Bi$_2$Se$_3$ natural superlattice phase series, determined by a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. Two observable…
We have investigated the surface states of a potential mixed-valent topological insulator SmB$_6$ based on the first principles density functional theory slab band structure analysis. We have found that metallic surface states are formed in…
The realization of the coexistence of various topologically nontrivial surface states in one material is expected to lay a foundation for new electric applications with selective robust spin current. Here we apply the magnetoconductivity…
Topological insulators support metallic surface states whose existence is protected by the bulk band structure. It has been predicted early that the topology of the surface state Fermi contour should depend on several factors, such as the…
The electronic bandstructure of Au$_2$Pb has a Dirac cone which gaps when undergoing a structural transition into a low temperature superconducting phase. This suggests that the superconducting phase ($T_c=1.1$ K) might hold topological…
We studied the electronic structure Bi(2)Se(3) employing density functional theory. The calculations show that the Dirac states primarily consists of the states at the interface of surface and sub-surface quintuple layers and the emergence…
The topological surface states of strained HgTe have been measured using high-resolution ARPES measurements. The dispersion of surface states form a Dirac cone, which origin is close to the top of the \ghh band: the top half of the Dirac…
The impact of surface morphology on electronic structure of topological crystalline insulators is studied theoretically. As an example, the structure of topologically protected electronic states on a (001) (Pb,Sn)Se surface with terraces of…
The electronic structure of iron pnictides is topologically nontrivial, leading to the appearance of Dirac cones in the band structure for the antiferromagnetic phase. Motivated by the analogy with Dirac cones in graphene, we explore the…
Although topological surface states are known to be robust against non-magnetic surface perturbations, their band dispersions and spatial distributions are still sensitive to the surface defects. Take Bi2Se3 as an example, we demonstrated…
We develop an effective bulk model with a topological boundary condition to study the surface states of topological insulators. We find that the Dirac point energy, the band curvature and the spin texture of surface states are crystal…

A brief survey is given of theoretical works on surface states (SSs) in Dirac materials. Within the formalism of envelope wave functions and boundary conditions for these functions, a minimal model is formulated that analytically describes…
The topological order of single-crystal Bi and its surface states on the (111) surface are studied in detail based on empirical tight-binding (TB) calculations. New TB parameters are presented that are used to calculate the surface states…
High resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been carried out on transition metal dichalcogenide PdTe2 that is a superconductor with a Tc at 1.7 K. Combined with theoretical calculations, we have discovered for the first…
