Larger hybridization bandgaps and topological phase transitions in the Sb-based topological insulator superlattices

نویسندگان

چکیده

With the aim of achieving a higher hybridization bandgap in quantum spin Hall insulating heterostructures, we study topologically novel InAs/Ga x In 1− Sb superlattices with inverted bandstructure. By tuning strain and material composition each layer precise manner, enhancement is achieved. The theoretically calculated hybridized reaches it's highest value ∼ 79 meV, which one reported so far. We also show that bilayer superlattice shows topological phase transition from trivial to semimetallic phase. These phases can be tuned by varying InAs thickness. All heterostructures showing large bandgaps are potential candidates for realization states at room temperature. • far achieved using Sb-based conventional superlattices. tunable transition. significant step temperature QSHI state.

Moiré superlattices at the topological insulator Bi2Te3

We report on the observation of complex superlattices at the surface of the topological insulator Bi2Te3. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals the existence of two different periodic structures in addition to the Bi2Te3 atomic lattice, which is found to strongly affect the local electronic structure. These three different periodicities are interpreted to result from a single small in-plane rot...

Transport through quantum wells and superlattices on topological insulator surfaces.

We investigate electron transmission coefficients through quantum wells and quantum superlattices on topological insulator surfaces. The quantum well or superlattice is not constituted by general electronic potential barriers but by Fermi velocity barriers which originate in the different topological insulator surfaces. It is found that electron resonant modes can be renormalized by quantum wel...

Topological Aspects of Phase Transitions

In the past decade and a half, an alternative analysis of phase transitions, based in the topological behavior of system configuration spaces, has been introduced. This method offers a new understanding of many phase transitions, particularly those in finite systems, using topology and manifold behavior. While the broadest hypotheses offered by researchers have proven overly optimistic, the met...

Multifarious topological quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional topological superconductors

We study the two-dimensional topological superconductors of spinless fermions in a checkerboard-lattice Chern-insulator model. With the short-range p-wave superconducting pairing, multifarious topological quantum phase transitions have been found and several phases with high Chern numbers have been observed. We have established a rich phase diagram for these topological superconducting states. ...
