Topological Crystalline Insulator in a New Bi Semiconducting Phase
Topological crystalline insulators are a type of topological insulators whose topological surface states are protected by a crystal symmetry, thus the surface gap can be tuned by applying strain or an electric field. In this paper we predict by means of ab initio calculations a new phase of Bi which is a topological crystalline insulator characterized by a mirror Chern number nM = -2, but not a...
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 کاملProximity effect in graphene-topological-insulator heterostructures.
We formulate a continuum model to study the low-energy electronic structure of heterostructures formed by graphene on a strong three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) for the cases of both commensurate and incommensurate stacking. The incommensurability can be due to a twist angle between graphene and the TI surface or a lattice mismatch between the two systems. We find that the proximity ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional topological insulator state and topological phase transition in bilayer graphene.
We show that gated bilayer graphene hosts a strong topological insulator (TI) phase in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling. We find that gated bilayer graphene under preserved time-reversal symmetry is a quantum valley Hall insulator for small Rashba SO coupling λ(R), and transitions to a strong TI when λ(R)>√[U(2)+t(⊥)(2)], where U and t(⊥) are, respectively, the interlayer potenti...
متن کاملObservation of a topological crystalline insulator phase and topological phase transition in Pb(1-x)Sn(x)Te.
A topological insulator protected by time-reversal symmetry is realized via spin-orbit interaction-driven band inversion. The topological phase in the Bi(1-x)Sb(x) system is due to an odd number of band inversions. A related spin-orbit system, the Pb(1-x)Sn(x)Te, has long been known to contain an even number of inversions based on band theory. Here we experimentally investigate the possibility ...
