Transition between strong and weak topological insulator in ZrTe5 and HfTe5
ZrTe5 and HfTe5 have attracted increasingly attention recently since the theoretical prediction of being topological insulators (TIs). However, subsequent works show many contradictions about their topolog-ical nature. Three possible phases, i.e. strong TI, weak TI, and Dirac semi-metal, have been observed in different experiments until now. Essentially whether ZrTe5 or HfTe5 has a band gap or ...
متن کاملElectronic evidence of temperature-induced Lifshitz transition and topological nature in ZrTe5
The topological materials have attracted much attention for their unique electronic structure and peculiar physical properties. ZrTe5 has host a long-standing puzzle on its anomalous transport properties manifested by its unusual resistivity peak and the reversal of the charge carrier type. It is also predicted that single-layer ZrTe5 is a two-dimensional topological insulator and there is poss...
متن کاملGapped Surface States in a Strong-Topological-Insulator Material.
A three-dimensional strong-topological insulator or semimetal hosts topological surface states which are often said to be gapless so long as time-reversal symmetry is preserved. This narrative can be mistaken when surface state degeneracies occur away from time-reversal-invariant momenta. The mirror invariance of the system then becomes essential in protecting the existence of a surface Fermi s...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Observation of a topological crystalline insulator phase and topological phase transition in Pb1−xSnxTe
In Fig. 2a and d of this Article, a uniform background subtraction was applied to the ARPES low-energy electronic structure measurements. In Fig. 2d, this background subtraction unintentionally was only applied to the central part of the figure. This affected the noise in the background but not the meaningful signal data features discussed in the paper, and therefore does not affect any conclus...
متن کاملStrong interband Faraday rotation in 3D topological insulator Bi2Se3
The Faraday effect is a representative magneto-optical phenomenon, resulting from the transfer of angular momentum between interacting light and matter in which time-reversal symmetry has been broken by an externally applied magnetic field. Here we report on the Faraday rotation induced in the prominent 3D topological insulator Bi2Se3 due to bulk interband excitations. The origin of this non-re...
