Journal ArticleDOI

Topological insulators and superconductors

TL;DR: Topological superconductors are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors and are characterized by a full insulating gap in the bulk and gapless edge or surface states which are protected by time reversal symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological insulators in Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 with a single Dirac cone on the surface

TL;DR: In this article, first-principles electronic structure calculations of the layered, stoichiometric crystals Sb2Te3, Bi2Se3, SbSe3 and BiSe3 were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Spin Hall Insulator State in HgTe Quantum Wells

TL;DR: The quantum phase transition at the critical thickness, d = 6.3 nanometers, was independently determined from the magnetic field–induced insulator-to-metal transition, providing experimental evidence of the quantum spin Hall effect.

Quantum Spin Hall Insulator State in HgTe Quantum Wells

TL;DR: In this article, the quantum spin Hall effect was observed in HgTe/(Hg,Cd)Te quantum wells with well width d 6.3 nanometers and the residual conductance was independent of sample width, indicating that it is caused by edge states.
