Curvature-induced Rashba spin-orbit interaction in strain-driven nanostructures
Paola Gentile, Mario Cuoco, Carmine Ortix
We derive the effective dimensionally reduced Schrödinger equation with spin-orbit interaction in low-dimensional electronic strain driven nanostructures. A method of adiabatic sep…
Absence of helical surface states in bulk semimetals with broken inversion symmetry
Carmine Ortix, Jörn W. F. Venderbos, Roland Hayn +1
Whereas the concept of topological band-structures was developed originally for insulators with a bulk bandgap, it has become increasingly clear that the prime consequences of a no…
The fundamental differences between Quantum Spin Hall edge-states at zig-zag and armchair terminations of honeycomb and ruby nets
Laura Cano-Cortés, Carmine Ortix, Jeroen van den Brink
Combining an analytical and numerical approach we investigate the dispersion of the topologically protected spin-filtered edge-states of the Quantum Spin Hall state on honeycomb an…
Stacked topological insulator built from bismuth-based graphene sheet analogues
Bertold Rasche, Anna Isaeva, Michael Ruck +7
Commonly materials are classified as either electrical conductors or insulators. The theoretical discovery of topological insulators (TIs) in 2005 has fundamentally challenged this…
