The Quantum Pinch Effect in Semiconducting Quantum Wires: A Bird's-Eye View

Manvir S Kushwaha

Those who measure success with culmination do not seem to be aware that life is a journey not a destination. This spirit is best reflected in the unceasing failures in efforts for…

Tuning Edge States in Strained-Layer InAs/GaInSb Quantum Spin Hall Insulators

Lingjie Du, Tingxin Li, Wenkai Lou +8

We report on a class of quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHIs) in strained-layer InAs/GaInSb quantum wells, in which the bulk gaps are enhanced by up to five folds as compared to the…
