Pt-Sr binary intermetallics encompass a broad range of stoichiometries and crystal structures, stabilized by complex bonding and multivalent chemistry. The Sr-rich end member, PtSr5, is recently identified via artificial-intelligence-guided…
Transition metal penta-tellurides, ZrTe5 and HfTe5 have been recently drawn a lot of attention due to their fascinating physical properties and for being prominent materials showing topological phase transitions. In this study, we…
The rise of topological insulators in recent years has broken new ground both in the conceptual cognition of condensed matter physics and the promising revolution of the electronic devices. It also stimulates the explorations of more…
Magnetic impurities deposited on topological superconductor candidate PbTaSe2 can introduce a non-splitting zero-energy state inside the superconducting gap, which has been proposed as a field-free platform for topological zero modes.…
In the search for experimental signatures of quantum anomalies, the layered Dirac materials ZrTe$_{5}$ and HfTe$_{5}$ have received much attention for potentially hosting a chiral anomaly. These materials exhibit a negative longitudinal…
In materials science, point defects play a crucial role in materials properties. This is particularly well known for the wide band gap insulators where the defect formation/compensation determines the equilibrium Fermi level and generally…

Vortices in topological superconductors host Majorana zero modes (MZMs), which are proposed to be building blocks of fault-tolerant topological quantum computers. Recently, a new single-material platform for realizing MZM has been…
We study the incoherent recombination of topological defects created during a rapid quench of a charge-density-wave system through the electronic ordering transition. Using a specially devised 3-pulse femtosecond optical spectroscopy…
For materials near the phase boundary between weak and strong topological insulators (TIs), their band topology depends on the band alignment, with the inverted (normal) band corresponding to the strong (weak) TI phase. Here, taking the…
Three-dimensional topological semimetals host a range of interesting quantum phenomena related to band crossing that give rise to Dirac or Weyl fermions, and can be potentially engineered into novel quantum devices. Harvesting the full…
Real-world topological semimetals typically exhibit Dirac and Weyl nodes that coexist with trivial Fermi pockets. This tends to mask the physics of the relativistic quasiparticles. Using the example of ZrTe5, we show that strain provides a…
Much effort has been devoted to the electronic properties of relatively thick ZrTe5 crystals, focusing on their three-dimensional topological effects. Thin ZrTe5 crystals, on the other hand, were much less explored experimentally. Here we…
Zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe$_{5}$), a system with a Dirac linear band across the Fermi level and anomalous transport features, has attracted considerable research interest for it is predicted to be located at the boundary between strong…
The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) describes the non-equilibrium dynamics and topological defect formation in systems undergoing second-order phase transitions. KZM has found applications in fields such as cosmology and condensed matter…
Substitutional transition metal (TM) point defects have recently been controllably introduced in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides. We identify quantum defect candidates through a first-principles materials discovery…
