Topological insulators [1-6] is a new quantum phase of matter with exotic properties such as dissipationless transport and protection against Anderson localization [7]. These new states of quantum matter could be one of the missing links…
We examine the impact of non-magnetic disorder on the electronic states of a multilayer structure comprising layers of both topological and conventional band insulators. Employing the Burkov-Balents model with renormalized tunneling…
We identify the possibility of realizing higher order topological (HOT) phases in noncrystalline or amorphous materials. Starting from two and three dimensional crystalline HOT insulators, accommodating topological corner states, we…
Topological matter is a trending topic in condensed matter: From a fundamental point of view it has introduced new phenomena and tools, and for technological applications, it holds the promise of basic stable quantum computing. Similarly,…
We study symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase transitions induced by stacking two gapped one-dimensional subsystems in BDI symmetry class. The topological invariant of the entire system is a sum of three topological invariants: two…
The topological properties of materials are, until now, associated with the features of their crystalline structure, although translational symmetry is not an explicit requirement of the topological phases. Recent studies of hopping models…
We numerically demonstrate a practical means of systematically controlling topological transport on the surface of a three dimensional topological insulator, by introducing strong disorder in a layer of depth $d$ extending inward from the…
The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit…
The discovery of topological phases of matter and topological boundary states had tremendous impact on condensed matter physics and photonics, where topological phases are defined via energy bands, giving rise to topological band theory.…
We found that non-magnetic defects in two-dimensional topological insulators induce bound states of two kinds for each spin orientation: electron- and hole-like states. Depending on the sign of the defect potential these states can be also…
It is well known that Anderson transition is a disorder-induced metal-insulator transition.Contrary to this conventional wisdom, some investigations have shown that disorders could destroy the phase coherence of localized modes in…
Static disorder in a noninteracting gas of electrons confined to two dimensions can drive a continuous quantum (Anderson) transition between a metallic and an insulating state when time-reversal symmetry is preserved but spin-rotation…
Topological properties of quantum materials are intimately related to symmetry. Here, we tune the magnetic order of the axion insulator candidate EuIn$_2$As$_2$ from its broken-helix ground state to the field-polarized phase by applying an…
In this paper, the influence of the quasidisorder on a two-dimensional system is studied. We find that there exists a topological phase transition accompanied by a transverse Anderson localization. The topological properties are…
We consider a disordered waveguide consisting of trivial dielectric and non-trivial magnetically anisotropic material. A topologically-protected edge mode appears owing to the broken time-reversal symmetry of the non-trivial lattice. While…
Recent studies of disorder or non-Hermiticity induced topological insulators inject new ingredients for engineering topological matter. Here we consider the effect of purely non-Hermitian disorders, a combination of these two ingredients,…
Topological insulators (TIs) are an important family of quantum materials that exhibit a Dirac point (DP) in the surface band structure but have a finite band gap in bulk. A large degree of spin-orbit interaction and low bandgap is a…
The topological insulator is an electronic phase stabilized by spin-orbit coupling that supports propagating edge states and is not adiabatically connected to the ordinary insulator. In several ways it is a spin-orbit-induced analogue in…
Although topological materials have recently seen tremendous development, their applications have remained elusive. Simultaneously, there exists considerable interest in pushing the limits of topological materials, including the exploration…
Three-dimensional topological insulators (3D-TIs) possess a specific topological order of electronic bands, resulting in gapless surface states via bulk-edge correspondence. Exotic phenomena have been realized in ferromagnetic TIs, such as…
