In a three-dimensional strong topological insulator, gapless helical surface states appear everywhere on its surface. In the presence of a screw dislocation, gapless helical modes also appear in the vicinity of the corresponding dislocation…
Spin orbit coupling changes graphene, in principle, into a two-dimensional topological insulator, also known as quantum spin Hall insulator. One of the expected consequences is the existence of spin-filtered edge states that carry…
While the helical character of the edge channels responsible for charge transport in the quantum spin Hall regime of a two-dimensional topological insulator is by now well established, an experimental confirmation that the transport in the…
Topologically nontrivial band structure of a material may give rise to special states that are confined to the material's boundary and protected against disorder and scattering. Quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) is a paradigmatic example of…
Three-dimensional topological insulators of finite thickness can show the quantum Hall effect (QHE) at the filling factor $\nu=0$ under an external magnetic field if there is a finite potential difference between the top and bottom…
A new class of phenomena stemming from topological states of quantum matter has recently found a variety of analogies in classical systems. Spin-locking and one-way propagation have been shown to drastically alter our view on scattering of…
We consider multi-terminal transport through a flake of rectangular shape of a two-dimensional topological insulator in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. This system has been shown to be a second-order topological insulator, thus…
We evidence the possibility for coherent electrical manipulation of the spin orientation of topologically protected edge states in a low-symmetry quantum spin Hall insulator. By using a combination of ab-initio simulations, symmetry-based…
The presence of edge channels in the quantum Hall regime leads to dissipationless charge transport over long distances. When graphene is interfaced with a magnetic material, the exchange interaction lifts the Landau levels spin degeneracy.…
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials hosting dislocations have attracted considerable research attention in recent years. In particular, screw dislocations can result in a spiral topology and an interlayer twist in the layered materials,…
Band topology and related spin (or pseudo-spin) physics of photons provide us with a new dimension for manipulating light, which is potentially useful for information communication and data storage. Especially, the quantum spin Hall effect…
We investigate the optical and quantum mechanical properties of a charged spinless particle confined in a two-dimensional quantum ring under the simultaneous influence of a spiral dislocation and an external magnetic field. The dislocation…
We study plasmonic excitations in the Kane-Mele model, a two-dimensional Z2 topological insulator on the honeycomb lattice, using the random phase approximation (RPA). In the topologically non-trivial phase, the model has conducting edge…
We report an unconventional quantum spin Hall phase in the monolayer T$_\text{d}$-WTe$_2$, which exhibits hitherto unknown features in other topological materials. The low-symmetry of the structure induces a canted spin texture in the $yz$…
The spin polarization induced by the spin Hall effect (SHE) in thin films typically points out of the plane. This is rooted on the specific symmetries of traditionally studied systems, not in a fundamental constraint. Recently, experiments…
We develop a simple model of surface states for topological insulators, developing matching relations for states on surfaces of different orientations. The model allows one to write simple Dirac Hamiltonians for each surface, and to…
A two-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulator exhibits one-dimensional gapless spin-filtered edge channels allowing for dissipationless transport of charge and spin. However, the sophisticated fabrication requirement of two-dimensional…
Topological edge states manifest spin-momentum-locking propagation as a primary consequence of topological crystals. However, experimental studies on spin manipulation and the resulting propagation of these states are lacking. Here, we…
Quantum spin Hall (QSH) system can exhibit exotic spin transport phenomena, mediated by its topological edge states. Here a novel concept of bending strain engineering to tune the spin transport properties of a QSH system is demonstrated by…
It has been demonstrated that topological quantum spin Hall (QSH) state exist in twisted bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides. However, a comprehensive theoretical characterization of the topological edge states remains a topic of…
