Majorana fermions (particles that are their own antiparticle) may or may not exist in nature as elementary building blocks, but in condensed matter they can be constructed out of electron …

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 …
Three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) are characterized by their nontrivial surface states, in which electrons have their spin locked at a right angle to their momentum under …
Theoretically, it has been known that breaking spin degeneracy and effectively realizing spinless fermions is a promising path to topological superconductors. Yet, topological …
We report on transport properties of Josephson junctions in hybrid superconducting- topological insulator devices, which show two striking departures from the common …
The long-sought yet elusive Majorana fermion is predicted to arise from a combination of a superconductor and a topological insulator,,. An essential step in the hunt for this emergent …
Superconductivity in topological materials has drawn significant interest from the scientific community as these materials provide a hint of the existence of Majorana fermions …
We review theoretical and experimental highlights in transport in two-dimensional topological materials over the last five years. Topological materials comprise topological …

Topological insulators (TIs) hold promise as a platform for unique quantum phenomena. However, realizing these phenomena experimentally requires sophisticated devices. In this …
