The sonochemical method is used to synthesize SnTe nanoparticles (Nps). Elemental
analyses validated the stoichiometry of the nanoparticles. The phase and structure of the …

We investigate the electronic, structural, and topological properties of the SnTe and PbTe
cubic nanowires using ab initio calculations. Using standard and linear-scale density …

Over the last ten years, the discovery of topological materials has opened up new areas in
condensed matter physics. These materials are noted for their distinctive electronic …

SnTe materials are one of the most flexible material platforms for exploring the interplay of
topology and different types of symmetry breaking. We study symmetry-protected topological …

In this viewpoint we advocate in situ cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM)
as a characterization method for the growing field of quantum materials. Here, quantum …

The Pb1–x Sn x Te family of compounds possess a wide range of intriguing and useful
physical properties, including topologically protected surface states, robust ferroelectricity …

The topological electronic structure of a single twin boundary and coherent twinning
superlattices (TSLs) based on the SnTe class of materials is calculated and discussed within …

For more than a decade since their experimental confirmation, topological materials have
elicited interest from a wide variety of fields due to their unique symmetry-protected …

We report on the experimental realization of Pb1− xSnx Te pentagonal nanowires (NWs)
with [110] orientation using molecular beam epitaxy techniques. Using first-principles …

This study explored the structural, vibrational, morphological, optical, and magnetic
characteristics of both as-grown and annealed single crystals of tin telluride (SnTe) …
