An Introduction of Topological Orders
One of most fundamental issues about matter is to understand states of matter and the associated internal orders. In this article, we examine the orders in states of matter in depth and present a new kind of order – topological order. Using fractional quantum Hall states as examples, a simple intuitive picture, the unique properties, and the experimental measurements of topological order are di...
متن کاملTopological Insulators a.k.a Quantum Spin Hall E ect
The recent experimental realization of a the quantum spin hall e ect has caused a lot of interest in these topological states of matter. Topological insulators are a new form of condensed matter that are not characterized by a spontaneously broken symmetry. Instead the materials are characterized by topology of the manifold of the occupied bloch states. Topological insulators have the unique pr...
متن کاملSuperlattice valley engineering for designer topological insulators
A topological insulator is a novel state of quantum matter, characterized by symmetry-protected Dirac interfacial states within its bulk gap. Tremendous effort has been invested into the search for topological insulators. To date, the discovery of topological insulators has been largely limited to natural crystalline solids. Therefore, it is highly desirable to tailor-make various topological s...
متن کاملThe quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators
form many different states of matter, such as crystalline solids, magnets, and superconductors. Those different states can be classified by the symmetries they spontaneously break— translational, rotational, and gauge symmetries, respectively, for the examples above. Before 1980 all states of matter in condensed-matter systems could be classified by the principle of broken symmetry. The quantum...
متن کاملTopological Hamiltonian as an exact tool for topological invariants.
We propose the concept of 'topological Hamiltonian' for topological insulators and superconductors in interacting systems. The eigenvalues of the topological Hamiltonian are significantly different from the physical energy spectra, but we show that the topological Hamiltonian contains the information of gapless surface states, therefore it is an exact tool for topological invariants.
متن کاملSuperconducting States in Doped Topological Materials
There are considerable interests in topological superconductivity in condensed matter physics. In this talk, I will present our recent works on topological superconductors and the related phenomena. In particular, I will discuss how topological non-trivial structures in normal states may arise non-trivial quantum phenomena in the superconducting states. As examples, I will discuss odd parity su...
