Josephson supercurrent through a topological insulator surface state.
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 particle is the unequivocal observation of supercurrent in a topological phase. Here, direct evidence for Josephson supercurrents in superconductor (Nb)-topological insulator (Bi(2)Te(3))-superconductor electron-be...
متن کاملQuantized topological surface states promise a quantum Hall state in topological insulators
The prediction [1] and experimental discovery [2, 3] of a class of materials known as topological insulators is a major recent event in the condensed matter physics community. Why do twoand three-dimensional topological insulators (such as HgTe/CdTe [2] and Bi2Se3 [3], respectively) attract so much interest? Thinking practically, these materials open a rich vista of possible applications and de...
متن کاملLarge-Gap Quantum Spin Hall State in MXenes: d-Band Topological Order in a Triangular Lattice.
MXenes are a large family of two-dimensional (2D) early transition metal carbides that have shown great potential for a host of applications ranging from electrodes in supercapacitors and batteries to sensors to reinforcements in polymers. Here, on the basis of first-principles calculations, we predict that Mo2MC2O2 (M = Ti, Zr, or Hf), belonging to a recently discovered new class of MXenes wit...
متن کاملSpin-polarized surface resonances accompanying topological surface state formation
Topological insulators host spin-polarized surface states born out of the energetic inversion of bulk bands driven by the spin-orbit interaction. Here we discover previously unidentified consequences of band-inversion on the surface electronic structure of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. By performing simultaneous spin, time, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we map the spin-pola...
متن کاملDirect observation and temperature control of the surface Dirac gap in a topological crystalline insulator
Since the advent of topological insulators hosting Dirac surface states, efforts have been made to gap these states in a controllable way. A new route to accomplish this was opened up by the discovery of topological crystalline insulators where the topological states are protected by crystal symmetries and thus prone to gap formation by structural changes of the lattice. Here we show a temperat...
