Disordered weak and strong topological insulators.
A global phase diagram of disordered weak and strong topological insulators is established numerically. As expected, the location of the phase boundaries is renormalized by disorder, a feature recognized in the study of the so-called topological Anderson insulator. Here, we report unexpected quantization, i.e., robustness against disorder of the conductance peaks on these phase boundaries. Anot...
متن کاملElectronic states in disordered topological insulators
We present a theoretical study of electronic states in topological insulators with impurities. Chiral edge states in 2d topological insulators and helical surface states in 3d topological insulators show a robust transport against nonmagnetic impurities. Such a nontrivial character inspired physicists to come up with applications such as spintronic devices [1], thermoelectric materials [2], pho...
متن کاملNon-commutative Algebraic Geometry
0 Introduction This is a reasonably faithful account of the ve lectures I delivered at the summer course \Geometria Algebraica no Commutativa y Espacios Cuanti-cos" for graduate students, in Spain, July 25{29, 1994. The material covered was, for the most part, an abridged version of Artin and Zhang's paper 2]. Fix a eld k. Given a Z-graded k-algebra, A say, which for simplicity is assumed to be...
متن کاملDelocalization of boundary states in disordered topological insulators
We use the method of bulk-boundary correspondence of topological invariants to show that disordered topological insulators have at least one delocalized state at their boundary at zero energy. Those insulators which do not have chiral (sublattice) symmetry have in addition the whole band of delocalized states at their boundary, with the zero energy state lying in the middle of the band. This re...
متن کاملNon-commutative geometry and irreversibility
A kinetics built upon q-calculus, the calculus of discrete dilatations, is shown to describe diffusion on a hierarchical lattice. The only observable on this ultrametric space is the “quasi-position” whose eigenvalues are the levels of the hierarchy, corresponding to the volume of phase space available to the system at any given time. Motion along the lattice of quasi-positions is irreversible....
