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 …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for d-electron gas can be substantially enriched compared with
the sp-electron gas due to the delicate ordering of the multiple d subbands. Here, we …

Iridate thin films are a prerequisite for any application utilizing their cooperative effects
resulting from the interplay of strong spin-orbit coupling and electronic correlations. Here …

We performed in situ magnetotransport measurements on ultrathin Bi (111) films [4–30
bilayers (BLs), 16–120 Å thick] to elucidate the role of bulk or surface states in the transport …

Transparent p‐type conductive γ‐CuI thin films typically exhibit unexpectedly high hole
mobilities in the range of 10 cm2 V− 1 s− 1 even when heavily textured. To explain this …

The magnetoconductance of Bi films grown epitaxially on Si (111) for a film thickness
between 10 and 100 bilayers (BL) was investigated at a temperature of T= 9 K in magnetic …

Epitaxial Bi (111) films were subject to many and partly even controversial studies on the
semimetal-semiconductor transition triggered by a robust quantum confinement. The …

The complex behavior of magnetoconductance of Bi films grown epitaxially on Si (111) with
a thickness of 20–100 bilayers (BL) was measured at T= 9 K in magnetic fields up to B= 4 T …

Although bulk Bi is a prototypical semimetal with a topologically trivial electronic band
structure, we show by various quantum transport measurements that epitaxial Bi (111) thin …

Vicinal semi-metallic Bi-films are expected to reveal topologically protected edge states. In
this study the growth of Bi-multilayer structures on Si (557) substrates has been investigated …
