The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

Two-dimensional (2D) topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) were recently predicted in thin
films of the SnTe class of IV–VI semiconductors, which can host metallic edge states …

Topological surface-states can acquire an energy gap when time-reversal symmetry is
broken by interfacing with a magnetic insulator. This gap has yet to be measured. Such …

The rise of topological insulators in recent years has broken new ground both in the
conceptual cognition of condensed matter physics and the promising revolution of the …

The topological crystalline insulator SnTe has been grown epitaxially on a Bi 2 Te 3 buffer
layer by molecular beam epitaxy. In a 30-nm-thick SnTe film, p-and n-type carriers are found …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201604185 to external perturbations.[10, 15, 16] Therefore, the trivial to
nontrivial topological phase transition can be controlled by many different means, such as by …

Spin-orbit coupling is increasingly seen as a rich source of novel phenomena, as shown by
the recent excitement around topological insulators and Rashba effects. We here show that …

Topological superconductors have attracted tremendous excitement as they are predicted to
host Majorana zero modes that can be utilized for topological quantum computing …

First‐principles calculations, within the framework of density functional theory, are used to
investigate the structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of monolayer …

Monolayer group-IV monochalcogenides (MX, M= Ge⁠, Sn, Pb; X= S⁠, Se, Te) are a family
of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials that have atomic structures closely related to that of …
