The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

As a key type of emerging thermoelectric material, tin telluride (SnTe) has received
extensive attention because of its low toxicity and eco‐friendly nature. The recent trend …

A topological insulator is an unusual quantum state of matter, characterized by the
appearance, at its edges or on its surface, of a gapless metallic state that is protected by time …

Topological insulators are a class of quantum materials in which time-reversal symmetry,
relativistic effects and an inverted band structure result in the occurrence of electronic …

SnTe is a potentially attractive thermoelectric because it is the lead-free rock-salt analogue
of PbTe. However, SnTe is a poor thermoelectric material because of its high hole …

A topological insulator protected by time-reversal symmetry is realized via spin–orbit
interaction-driven band inversion. The topological phase in the Bi1− x Sb x system is due to …

What kind of information on the electrons' organisation in solids is yielded by measuring
their thermoelectric response? Fundamentals of Thermoelectricity gives an account of our …

We theoretically predict that thin-film topological crystalline insulators can host various
quantum anomalous Hall phases when doped by ferromagnetically ordered dopants. Any …

Thermoelectric materials provide a challenge for materials design, since they require
optimization of apparently conflicting properties. The resulting complexity has favored trial …

The strong correlation between Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity is a main
bottleneck in enhancing the performance of thermoelectric materials. It indicates that optimal …
