Topological Quantum Phase Transition and 3D Texture Inversion in a Tunable Topological Insulator
The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit interaction or the crystal lattice via odd number of band inversions, driving the system through a topological quantum phase transition. By directly measuring the to...
متن کاملTopological states in multi-orbital HgTe honeycomb lattices
Research on graphene has revealed remarkable phenomena arising in the honeycomb lattice. However, the quantum spin Hall effect predicted at the K point could not be observed in graphene and other honeycomb structures of light elements due to an insufficiently strong spin-orbit coupling. Here we show theoretically that 2D honeycomb lattices of HgTe can combine the effects of the honeycomb geomet...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Topological Crystalline Insulator Phase in Sb/Bi Planar Honeycomb with Tunable Dirac Gap
We predict planar Sb/Bi honeycomb to harbor a two-dimensional (2D) topological crystalline insulator (TCI) phase based on first-principles computations. Although buckled Sb and Bi honeycombs support 2D topological insulator (TI) phases, their structure becomes planar under tensile strain. The planar Sb/Bi honeycomb structure restores the mirror symmetry, and is shown to exhibit non-zero mirror ...

متن کاملTopological Residuated Lattices
In this paper, we study the separtion axioms $T_0,T_1,T_2$ and $T_{5/2}$ on topological and semitopological residuated lattices and we show that they are equivalent on topological residuated lattices. Then we prove that for every infinite cardinal number $alpha$, there exists at least one nontrivial Hausdorff topological residuated lattice of cardinality $alpha$. In the follows, we obtain some ...
