Topological classification of crystalline insulators through band structure combinatorics
Jorrit Kruthoff, Jan de Boer, Jasper van Wezel +2
We present a method for efficiently enumerating all allowed, topologically distinct, electronic band structures within a given crystal structure. The algorithm applies to crystals…
Universal Symmetry-Protected Resonances in a Spinful Luttinger Liquid
Yichen Hu, C. L. Kane
We study the problem of resonant tunneling through a quantum dot in a spinful Luttinger liquid. For a range of repulsive interactions, we find that for symmetric barriers there exi…
Critical Behavior of Four-Terminal Conductance of Bilayer Graphene Domain Walls
Benjamin J. Wieder, Fan Zhang, C. L. Kane
Bilayer graphene in a perpendicular electric field can host domain walls between regions of reversed field direction or interlayer stacking. The gapless modes propagating along the…
Zeeman Field-Tuned Transitions for Surface Chern Insulators
Fan Zhang, Xiao Li, Ji Feng +2
Mirror symmetric surfaces of a topological crystalline insulator host even number of Dirac surface states. A surface Zeeman field generically gaps these states leading to a quantiz…
Signatures of Majorana Fermions in Topological Insulator Josephson Junction Devices
Benjamin J. Wieder, Fan Zhang, C. L. Kane
We study theoretically the electrical current and low-frequency noise for a linear Josephson junction structure on a topological insulator, in which the superconductor forms a clos…
Spin texture on the Fermi surface of tensile strained HgTe
Saad Zaheer, S. M. Young, D. Cellucci +4
We present ab initio and k.p calculations of the spin texture on the Fermi surface of tensile strained HgTe, which is obtained by stretching the zincblende lattice along the (111)…
Surface States of Topological Insulators
Fan Zhang, C. L. Kane, E. J. Mele
We develop an effective bulk model with a topological boundary condition to study the surface states of topological insulators. We find that the Dirac point energy, the band curvat…
Majorana Fermions and Non-Abelian Statistics in Three Dimensions
Jeffrey C. Y. Teo, C. L. Kane
We show that three dimensional superconductors, described within a Bogoliubov de Gennes framework can have zero energy bound states associated with pointlike topological defects. T…
Critical Behavior of a Point Contact in a Quantum Spin Hall Insulator
Jeffrey C. Y. Teo, C. L. Kane
We study a quantum point contact in a quantum spin Hall insulator. It has recently been shown that the Luttinger liquid theory of such a structure maps to the theory of a weak link…
Broken Symmetries in Scanning Tunneling Images of Carbon Nanotubes
C. L. Kane, E. J. Mele
Scanning tunneling images of carbon nanotubes frequently show electron distributions which break the local sixfold symmetry of the graphene sheet. We present a theory of these imag…
Coulomb Interactions and Mesoscopic Effects in Carbon Nanotubes
Charlie Kane, Leon Balents, Matthew Fisher
We argue that long-range Coulomb forces convert an isolated (N,N) armchair carbon nanotube into a strongly-renormalized *Luttinger liquid*. At high temperatures, we find anomalous…
