Parallel magnetic field driven quantum phase transition in a thin topological insulator film

AA Zyuzin, MD Hook, AA Burkov - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2011‏ - APS
It is well known that helical surface states of a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) do
not respond to a static in-plane magnetic field. Formally this occurs because the in-plane …

Spin‐helical transport in normal and superconducting topological insulators

G Tkachov, EM Hankiewicz - physica status solidi (b), 2013‏ - Wiley Online Library
In a topological insulator (TI) the character of electron transport varies from insulating in the
interior of the material to metallic near its surface. Unlike, however, ordinary metals …
