The search for topologically non-trivial states of matter has become an important goal for condensed matter physics. Here, we give a theoretical introduction to the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect based on magnetic topological…
Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in magnetic topological insulators is driven by the combination of spontaneous magnetic moments and spin-orbit coupling. Its recent experimental discovery raises the question if higher plateaus can also…
Semiconductor interfaces, such as these existing in multilayer structures (e.g., quantum wells (QWs)), are interesting because of their ability to form 2D electron gases (2DEGs), in which charge carriers behave completely differently than…
We present an approach to the fractional quantum Hall effect observed in grapheme (GFQHE), basing us on the model developed previously for the fractional quantum Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron system embedded in a quantum well…
The search of new topological insulators that demonstrate the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is a cutting-edge research topic in condensed matter physics and materials science. So far, the QAHE has been observed only in Cr-doped…
Since the experimental realisation of the integer quantised Hall effect in a two dimensional electron system subject to strong perpendicular magnetic fields in 1980, a central question has been the interrelation between the conductance…
Quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) has been experimentally realized in magnetic topological insulator (MTI) thin films fabricated on magnetically doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3. In a MTI thin film with the magnetic easy axis along the normal direction…
Quantized anomalous Hall effects (QAHEs) occur in remarkable electronic states which possess not only quantized Hall signals but in some cases regions of dissipationless electron transport. The initial demonstrations of a QAHE in a…
We report magnetotransport studies on a gated strained HgTe device. This material is a threedimensional topological insulator and exclusively shows surface state transport. Remarkably, the Landau level dispersion and the accuracy of the…
Due to the potential applications in the low-power-consumption spintronic devices, the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) has attracted tremendous attention in past decades. However, up to now, QAHE was only observed experimentally in…
We explore potentials that break time-reversal symmetry to confine the surface states of 3D topological insulators into quantum wires and quantum dots. A magnetic domain wall on a ferromagnet insulator cap layer provides interfacial states…
The exsitance of three-dimensional Hall effect (3DQHE) due to spontaneous Fermi surface instabilities in strong magnetic field was proposed decades ago, and has stimulated recent progress in experiments. The reports in recent experiments…
A quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator is characterized by quantized Hall and vanishing longitudinal resistances at zero magnetic field that are protected against local perturbations and independent of sample details. This insensitivity…
We report the studies of high-quality HgTe/(Cd,Hg)Te quantum wells (QWs) with a width close to the critical one $d_c$, corresponding to the topological phase transition and graphene like band structure in view of their applications for…
We present a microscopic theory of the chiral one-dimensional electron gas system localized on the sidewalls of magnetically-doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$-family topological insulator nanoribbons in the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) regime. Our…
A numerical study is made of current distribution in small Hall bars with disorder. It is observed, in particular, that in the Hall-plateau regime the Hall current tends to concentrate near the sample edges while it diminishes on average in…
We propose a realization of a quantum Hall effect (QHE) in a second-order topological insulator (SOTI) in three dimensions (3D), which is mediated by hinge states on a torus surface. It results from the nontrivial interplay of the material…
We study the quantum Hall effect in the surface states of topological insulator in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field in the framework of edge states. Motion of Dirac fermions will form descrete Landau levels, among which a…
Magnetic topological states refer to a class of exotic phases in magnetic materials with their non-trivial topological property determined by magnetic spin configurations. An example of such states is the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state,…
The topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) in three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs), described by $\Delta P = \frac{e^2}{2h} N_{\rm Ch}^{(2)} \Delta B$, serves as a condensed-matter realization of the four-dimensional quantum…
