Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically
connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full …

Topological insulators are electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary
insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states are …

The 1937 theoretical discovery of Majorana fermions—whose defining property is that they
are their own anti-particles—has since impacted diverse problems ranging from neutrino …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM), a key invention in nanoscience, has by now been
extended to a wide spectrum of basic and applied fields. Its application to basic science led …

A wide range of materials, like d-wave superconductors, graphene, and topological
insulators, share a fundamental similarity: their low-energy fermionic excitations behave as …

The development of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been experiencing a renaissance
since the adventure of graphene. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are now …

Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) materials have led to the renewed interest in
intercalation as a powerful fabrication and processing tool. Intercalation is an effective …
