Interacting quasi-one-dimensional zigzag graphene nanoribbons display gapped edge
excitations. Although the self-consistent Hartree–Fock fields break chiral symmetry, our work …

Protected and spin-polarized transport channels are the hallmark of topological insulators,
coming along with an intrinsic strong spin–orbit coupling. Here we identified such …

To date, almost all of the discussions on topological insulators (TIs) have focused on two-
and three-dimensional systems. One-dimensional (1D) TIs manifested in real materials, in …

Topological insulators are an emerging class of materials that host highly robust in-gap
surface or interface states while maintaining an insulating bulk,. Most advances in this field …

Topological insulators are bulk insulators that possess robust chiral conducting states along
their interfaces with normal insulators. A tremendous research effort has recently been …

It is known that the interplay between strong spin-orbit coupling and broken inversion
symmetry can lead to chiral configurations in low-dimensional magnetic systems deposited …

The topological and magnetic properties induced by topological defects in graphene have
attracted attention. Here, we study a novel topological defect structure for graphene …

We study the electronic properties of the Möbius graphene strip with a zigzag edge. We
show that such a graphene strip behaves as a topological insulator with a gapped bulk and …

Higher-order topological insulators are newly proposed topological phases of matter, whose
bulk topology manifests as localized modes at two-or higher-dimensional lower boundaries …

Topologically protected edge and junction states, previously predicted, have recently been
observed in armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) heterojunctions. Here, via tight-binding …
