We consider a junction between two topological insulators, and calculate the properties of the interface states with an effective low energy Hamiltonian for topological insulators with a single cone on the surface. This system bears a close…
The 2D TI edge states are considered within the Volkov-Pankratov (VP) Hamiltonian. A smooth transition between TI and OI is assumed. The edge states are formed in the total gap of homogeneous 2D material. A pair of these states are of…
The coherent optical manipulation of solids is emerging as a promising way to engineer novel quantum states of matter. The strong time periodic potential of intense laser light can be used to generate hybrid photon-electron states.…
Topological surface states are a class of novel electronic states that are of potential interest in quantum computing or spintronic applications. Unlike conventional two-dimensional electron states, these surface states are expected to be…
At the interface of an s-wave superconductor and a three-dimensional topological insulator, Ma- jorana zero modes and Majorana helical states have been proposed to exist respectively around magnetic vortices and geometrical edges. Here we…
It is well established that topological insulators sustain Dirac fermion surface states as a consequence of band inversion in the bulk. These states have a helical spin polarization and a linear dispersion with large Fermi velocity. In this…
Topological photonics offers transformative potential for robust integrated waveguide devices due to their backscattering-immune properties. However, their integration faces two fundamental challenges: mode symmetry mismatch with…
The electronic structure of a vortex line trapped by a planar defect in a type-II superconductor is analyzed within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory. The normal reflection of electrons and holes at the defect plane results in the topological…
Using a prototype model for proximity induced superconductivity on a bilayer square lattice, we show that interlayer tunneling can drive change in topology of the Bogoliubov quasiparticle bands. Starting with topologically trivial…
The formation of bound states at surfaces of materials with an energy gap in the bulk electron spectrum is a well known physical phenomenon. At superconductor surfaces, quasiparticles with energies inside the superconducting gap $\Delta$…
The relative strength of different proximity spin-orbit couplings in graphene on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) can be tuned via the metal composition in the TMDC layer. While Gr/MoSe$_2$, has a normal gap, proximity to WSe$_2$…
The effect of an atomically sharp impenetrable interface on the spin splitting of the spectrum of two-dimensional electrons in heterostructures based on (001) III-V compounds has been analyzed. To this end, the single band Hamiltonian…
Multiterminal Josephson junctions are a promising platform to study non-trivial topology in engineered quantum systems. Yet, experimentally meaningful insight into what exactly makes these systems topologically non-trivial remains elusive.…
Optical drives at terahertz and mid-infrared frequencies in quantum materials are increasingly used to reveal the nonlinear dynamics of collective modes in correlated many-body systems and their interplay with electromagnetic waves. Recent…
We report the study of ballistic transport in normal metal/graphene/superconductor junctions in edge-contact geometry. While in the normal state, we have observed Fabry-P\'{e}rot resonances suggesting that charge carriers travel…
Bogoliubov quasiparticles are a coherent electron-hole quantum superposition which typically, for time-reversal symmetric superconductors, exhibit a spectral distribution with particle-hole symmetry. Here, we demonstrate that in…
Superconductors involving electrons with internal degrees of freedom beyond spin can have internally anisotropic pairing states that are impossible in single-band superconductors. As a case in point, in even-parity multiband superconductors…
A salient feature of solid-state topological materials in two dimensions is the presence of conducting electronic edge states that are insensitive to scattering by disorder. Such unidirectional edge states have been explored in many…
Quantum ground states which arise at atomically controlled oxide interfaces provide an opportunity to address key questions in condensed matter physics, including the nature of two-dimensional (2D) metallic behaviour often observed adjacent…
High intensity coherent light can dress matter, realizing new hybrid phases that are not accessible in equilibrium. This effect results from the coherent interaction between Bloch states inside the solid and the periodic field of impinging…
