Topological insulators and superconductors

XL Qi, SC Zhang - Reviews of modern physics, 2011 - APS
Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically
connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full …

Wilson-loop characterization of inversion-symmetric topological insulators

A Alexandradinata, X Dai, BA Bernevig - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
The ground state of translationally invariant insulators comprises bands which can assume
topologically distinct structures. There are few known examples where this distinction is …

Measurement of a topological edge invariant in a microwave network

W Hu, JC Pillay, K Wu, M Pasek, PP Shum, YD Chong - Physical Review X, 2015 - APS
We report on the measurement of topological invariants in an electromagnetic topological
insulator analog formed by a microwave network, consisting of the winding numbers of …

Wallpaper fermions and the nonsymmorphic Dirac insulator

BJ Wieder, B Bradlyn, Z Wang, J Cano, Y Kim… - Science, 2018 - science.org
Materials whose gapless surface states are protected by crystal symmetries include mirror
topological crystalline insulators and nonsymmorphic hourglass insulators. There exists only …

Topology of disconnected elementary band representations

J Cano, B Bradlyn, Z Wang, L Elcoro, MG Vergniory… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
Elementary band representations are the fundamental building blocks of atomic limit band
structures. They have the defining property that at partial filling they cannot be both gapped …

Scattering theory of topological insulators and superconductors

IC Fulga, F Hassler, AR Akhmerov - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2012 - APS
The topological invariant of a topological insulator (or superconductor) is given by the
number of symmetry-protected edge states present at the Fermi level. Despite this fact …

Network models of photonic Floquet topological insulators

M Pasek, YD Chong - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
A recently proposed class of photonic topological insulators is shown to map onto Chalker-
Coddington-type networks, which were originally formulated to study disordered quantum …

Interaction-Induced Criticality in Topological Insulators

PM Ostrovsky, IV Gornyi, AD Mirlin - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
We study interaction effects in topological insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling. We find
that the interplay of nontrivial topology and Coulomb repulsion induces a novel critical state …

Conformal invariance, multifractality, and finite-size scaling at Anderson localization transitions in two dimensions

H Obuse, AR Subramaniam, A Furusaki… - Physical Review B …, 2010 - APS
We generalize universal relations between the multifractal exponent α 0 for the scaling of the
typical wave-function magnitude at a (Anderson) localization-delocalization transition in two …
