Weyl and Dirac semimetals are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic
excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. As three-dimensional analogs of …

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) describes the relativistic interaction between the spin and
momentum degrees of freedom of electrons, and is central to the rich phenomena observed …

Within the broad and deep field of topological materials, there are an ever-increasing
number of materials that harbor topological phases. While condensed matter physics …

According to quantum mechanics, a harmonic oscillator can never be completely at rest.
Even in the ground state, its position will always have fluctuations, called the zero-point …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

Topological insulators are bulk electronic insulators with symmetry-protected gapless modes
on their surfaces,,,,. Breaking time-reversal symmetry in these systems via ferromagnetism …

Topology, a mathematical concept, has recently become a popular and truly
transdisciplinary topic encompassing condensed matter physics, solid state chemistry, and …

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically
connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) is a quantum state of matter with
a gapped insulating bulk yet a conducting surface hosting topologically protected gapless …

Our review provides a comprehensive overview on the latest progress in pulsed-laser
deposition (PLD) of 2D layered materials (2DLMs), and its application in photoelectric …
