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 …

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 …

Metavalent bonding has attracted immense interest owing to its capacity to impart a distinct
property portfolio to materials for advanced functionality. Coupling metavalent bonding to …

A topological superconductor (TSC) is characterized by the topologically protected gapless
surface state that is essentially an Andreev bound state consisting of Majorana fermions …

An interplay of spin–orbit coupling and intrinsic magnetism is known to give rise to the
quantum anomalous Hall and topological magnetoelectric effects under certain conditions …

Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) materials based on group IVA elements have attracted
extensive attention owing to their rich chemical structures and novel properties. This …

Recently, topological insulator materials have been theoretically predicted and
experimentally observed in both 2D and 3D systems. We first review the basic models and …

The literature data on topological insulators (TIs) based on metal chalcogenides, which
constitute a new unique class of functional materials, are systematized here in the context of …

To optimize the bulk-insulating behavior in the topological insulator materials having a
