Elastic backscattering of quantum spin Hall edge modes from Coulomb interactions with non-magnetic impurities
Max McGinley, Nigel R. Cooper
We demonstrate that electrostatic interactions between helical electrons at the edge of a quantum spin Hall insulator and a dynamical impurity can induce quasi-elastic backscatteri…

Fragility of Time-Reversal Symmetry Protected Topological Phases
Max McGinley, Nigel R. Cooper
The second law of thermodynamics points to the existence of an `arrow of time', along which entropy only increases. This arises despite the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) of the micr…
