This paper reviews recent theoretical and experimental work on transport due to the surface
states of three-dimensional topological insulators. The theoretical focus is on longitudinal …

Two different heat-transport mechanisms are discussed in solids. In crystals, heat carriers
propagate and scatter particlelike as described by Peierls's formulation of the Boltzmann …

The spin Hall effect (SHE),,,–achieves coupling between charge currents and collective spin
dynamics in magnetically ordered systems and is a key element of modern spintronics …

In recent years, the physics community has experienced a revival of interest in spin effects in
solid state systems. On one hand, the solid state systems, particularly, semiconductors and …

The strong spin-orbit coupling and the broken inversion symmetry in monolayer transition
metal dichalcogenides results in spin-valley coupled band structures. Such a band structure …

We review our recent works on the quantum transport, mainly in topological semimetals and
also in topological insulators, organized according to the strength of the magnetic field. At …

We demonstrate that the Berry curvature monopole of nonmagnetic two-dimensional spin-
3/2 holes leads to a novel Hall effect linear in an applied in-plane magnetic field B∥ …

Nodal-line semimetals are topological semimetals in which band touchings form nodal lines
or rings. Around a loop that encloses a nodal line, an electron can accumulate a nontrivial π …

Berry phase physics is closely related to a number of topological states of matter. Recently
discovered topological semimetals are believed to host a nontrivial π Berry phase to induce …

In solid state conductors, linear response to a steady electric field is normally dominated by
Bloch state occupation number changes that are correlated with group velocity and lead to a …
