Topological semimetals (TSMs) are characterized by bulk band crossings in their electronic
structures, which are expected to give rise to gapless electronic excitations and topological …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a wide range of atomic structures, compositions, and
associated versatility of properties. Furthermore, for a given composition, a variety of …

Initiated by the discovery of topological insulators, topologically non-trivial materials have
attracted immense interest in the physics community in the past decade. One of the latest …

In this paper, we review the status of bright electron sources. High peak current (up to kA)
low emittance (< 1 mm rad) electron beams have been one of the critical components in the …

Improving materials used to make qubits is crucial to further progress in quantum information
processing. Of particular interest are semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures that …

Single and few layers of the two-dimensional (2D) semimetal ZrTe2 are grown by molecular
beam epitaxy on InAs (111)/Si (111) substrates. Excellent rotational commensurability, van …

Stanene (single-layer gray tin), with an electronic structure akin to that of graphene but
exhibiting a much larger spin-orbit gap, offers a promising platform for room-temperature …

Abstract α‐Sn provides an ideal avenue to investigate novel topological properties owing to
its rich diagram of topological phases and simple elemental material structure. Thus far …

Isolation of graphene is today a milestone in condensed matter physics that paves the way
to a new entire class of 2D synthetic materials referred to as Xenes with no analogous bulk …

Hybrid semiconductor–superconductor nanowires constitute a pervasive platform for
studying gate-tunable superconductivity and the emergence of topological behavior. Their …
