Exciton condensation and charge fractionalization in a topological insulator film.
An odd number of gapless Dirac fermions is guaranteed to exist at a surface of a strong topological insulator. We show that in a thin-film geometry and under external bias, electron-hole pairs that reside in these surface states can condense to form a novel exotic quantum state which we propose to call "topological exciton condensate" (TEC). This TEC is similar in general terms to the exciton c...
متن کاملSpin-charge separated solitons in a topological band insulator.
In this Letter we construct a simple, controllable, two-dimensional model based on a topological band insulator. It has many attractive properties. (1) We obtain spin-charge separated solitons that are associated with dynamic pi fluxes. (2) These solitons obey Bose statistics and their condensation triggers a phase transition from a spin Hall insulator to an easy-plane ferromagnet. (3) It sugge...
متن کاملHelical edge resistance introduced by charge puddles.
We study the influence of electron puddles created by doping of a 2D topological insulator on its helical edge conductance. A single puddle is modeled by a quantum dot tunnel coupled to the helical edge. It may lead to significant inelastic backscattering within the edge because of the long electron dwelling time in the dot. We find the resulting correction to the perfect edge conductance. Gene...
متن کاملA natural topological insulator.
The earth's crust and outer space are rich sources of technologically relevant materials which have found application in a wide range of fields. Well-established examples are diamond, one of the hardest known materials, or graphite as a suitable precursor of graphene. The ongoing drive to discover novel materials useful for (opto)electronic applications has recently drawn strong attention to to...
متن کاملThe Urysohn, completely Hausdorff and completely regular axioms in $L$-fuzzy topological spaces
In this paper, the Urysohn, completely Hausdorff and completely regular axioms in $L$-topological spaces are generalized to $L$-fuzzy topological spaces. Each $L$-fuzzy topological space can be regarded to be Urysohn, completely Hausdorff and completely regular tosome degree. Some properties of them are investigated. The relations among them and $T_2$ in $L$-fuzzy topological spaces are discussed.
