Definition: Topological electronic states refer to unique quantum states of matter that are characterized by their topological properties rather than their local or chemical properties. These states ...

Topological insulators (TIs) are a class of materials with surfaces that host a new quantum state of matter and are insensitive to contaminants, defects and impurities. Surface electrons in TIs behave ...

Molding the flow of light—whether confined to localized regions or propagating in free space—remains crucial for modern ...

This is just one reason why topological insulators are one of ... cross over twice (or an even number of times), the 2D surface states form a pair of Dirac cones (Fig. 2c) — this is similar ...

The non-chiral kagome lattice (corner-sharing triangles) basis of the topological material KV3Sb5 is found to develop subtle electronic chirality near the surface ... quantum state in a material ...

Our work reveals the atomic-scale properties of these quantum materials, providing insights into pair density waves, orbital ordering, and topological surface states. Much of our research examines the ...

A Princeton team uncovered a surprising chiral quantum state in a supposedly non-chiral material, shedding light on elusive ...

When introduced into a nematic liquid crystal, these particles induce three-dimensional director fields and topological defects dictated by colloidal topology. While electric fields, photothermal ...

Kobe University quantum solid state physicist Fuseya Yuki says ... crystals leads to the material appearing to be topological at the surface, masking that its bulk is non‑topological.

Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long-standing issue. Kobe University ...
