The recently discovered topological quantum materials (TQMs) have electronic structures
that can be characterized by certain topological invariants. In these novel materials, the …

Topological insulators are innovative materials with semiconducting bulk together with
surface states forming a Dirac cone, which ensure metallic conduction in the surface plane …

Due to their specific physical properties, HgCdTe-based heterostructures are expected to
play an important role in terahertz photonic systems. Here, focusing on gated devices …

We propose a versatile platform to investigate the existence of Majorana bound states
(MBSs) and their non-Abelian statistics through braiding. This implementation combines a …

We present a theory of the electron structure and the Zeeman effect for the helical edge
states emerging in two-dimensional topological insulators based on HgTe/HgCdTe quantum …

We study theoretically the detection of the topological phase transition occurring in Rashba
nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity using a quantum dot. The bulk states …

We analyze the detailed structure of topological edge mode protection occurring in
hexagonal quantum spin Hall (QSH) materials. We focus on bismuthene, antimonene, and …

Topological edge states (TES) exhibit dissipationless transport, yet their dispersion has
never been probed. Here we show that the nonlinear electrical response of ballistic TES …

We study both analytically and numerically the role of orbital effects caused by a magnetic
field applied along the axis of a semiconducting Rashba nanowire in the topological regime …
