چکیده
This Article contains typographical errors in the Results and Discussion sections, where ‘‘A’’ should read ‘‘AI’’. In the Results section: ‘‘(BDI R A R BDI)’’ should read ‘‘(BDI R AI R BDI)’’ In the Discussion section: ‘‘BDI R A’’ should read ‘‘BDI R AI’’ ‘‘(BDI R A R BDI)’’ should read ‘‘(BDI R AI R BDI)’’ In addition, the red line between BDI andA should be between BDI andAI. The correct Figure 1 appears below. SUBJECT AREAS: TOPOLOGICAL INSULATORS PHASE TRANSITIONS AND CRITICAL PHENOMENA

Topological Phase Transition without Gap Closing
Topological phase transition is accompanied with a change of topological numbers. According to the bulk-edge correspondence, the gap closing and the breakdown of the adiabaticity are necessary at the phase transition point to make the topological number ill-defined. However, the gap closing is not always needed. In this paper, we show that two topological distinct phases can be continuously con...
متن کاملEmergence of topological semimetals in gap closing in semiconductors without inversion symmetry
A band gap for electronic states in crystals governs various properties of solids, such as transport, optical, and magnetic properties. Its estimation and control have been an important issue in solid-state physics. The band gap can be controlled externally by various parameters, such as pressure, atomic compositions, and external field. Sometimes, the gap even collapses by tuning some paramete...
متن کاملTime-reversal-symmetry-broken quantum spin Hall effect.
The quantum spin Hall (QSH) state of matter is usually considered to be protected by time-reversal (TR) symmetry. We investigate the fate of the QSH effect in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling and an exchange field, which break both inversion and TR symmetries. It is found that the QSH state characterized by nonzero spin Chern numbers C(±) = ±1 persists when the TR symmetry is brok...
متن کاملRobustness of Topological Order in Semiconductor-Superconductor Nanowires in the Coulomb Blockade Regime
Semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems are promising candidates for the realization Majorana fermions and topological order, i.e. topologically protected degeneracies, in solid state devices. We show that the topological order is mirrored in the excitation spectra and can be observed in nonlinear Coulomb blockade transport through a ring-shaped nanowire. Especially, the excitation spectrum...
متن کاملFloquet topological insulator in semiconductor quantum wells
Topological phases of matter have captured our imagination over the past few years, with tantalizing properties such as robust edge modes and exotic non-Abelian excitations, and potential applications ranging from semiconductor spintronics to topological quantum computation. Despite recent advancements in the field, our ability to control topological transitions remains limited, and usually req...
