This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper
chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due …

Solid-state chemists have been consistently successful in envisioning and making new
compounds, often enlisting the tools of theoretical solid-state physics to explain some of the …

Based on first-principles calculation and effective model analysis, we propose that the cubic
antiperovskite material Cu 3 PdN can host a three-dimensional (3D) topological node-line …

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 …

Chemists and material scientists have often focused on the properties of previously reported
compounds, but neglect numerous unreported but chemically plausible compounds that …

Weyl semimetals have attracted worldwide attention due to their wide range of exotic
properties predicted in theories. The experimental realization had remained elusive for a …

Recently, topological insulator materials have been theoretically predicted and
experimentally observed in both 2D and 3D systems. We first review the basic models and …

Topological surface states, a new kind of electronic state of matter, have recently been
observed on the cleaved surfaces of crystals of a handful of small band gap semiconductors …

Topological insulators (TI) are becoming one of the most studied classes of novel materials
because of their great potential for applications ranging from spintronics to quantum …

The noncentrosymmetric half Heusler compound YPtBi exhibits superconductivity below a
critical temperature T c= 0.77 K with a zero-temperature upper critical field H c 2 (0)= 1.5 T …
