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 …

Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

Turning on superconductivity in a topologically nontrivial insulator may provide a route to
search for non-Abelian topological states. However, existing demonstrations of …

This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

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 …

The 1937 theoretical discovery of Majorana fermions—whose defining property is that they
are their own anti-particles—has since impacted diverse problems ranging from neutrino …

A wide range of materials, like d-wave superconductors, graphene, and topological
insulators, share a fundamental similarity: their low-energy fermionic excitations behave as …

Topological superconductors are novel classes of quantum condensed phases,
characterized by topologically nontrivial structures of Cooper pairing states. On the surfaces …

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

A topological superconductor (TSC) is characterized by the topologically protected gapless
surface state that is essentially an Andreev bound state consisting of Majorana fermions …
