are their own anti-particles—has since impacted diverse problems ranging from neutrino …

Higher-order topological insulators and superconductors protected by inversion symmetry

E Khalaf - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We study surface states of topological crystalline insulators and superconductors protected
by inversion symmetry. These fall into the category of “higher-order” topological insulators …
