Pentagonal nanowires from topological crystalline insulators: a platform for intrinsic core-shell nanowires and higher-order topology
Ghulam Hussain, Giuseppe Cuono, Piotr Dziawa +12
We report on the experimental realization of Pb1-xSnxTe pentagonal nanowires (NWs) with [110] orientation using molecular beam epitaxy techniques. Using first-principles calculatio…

Spin-orbit insulating phase in SnTe cubic nanowires: consequences on the topological surface states
Ghulam Hussain, Kinga Warda, Giuseppe Cuono +1
We investigate the electronic, structural and topological properties of the SnTe and PbTe cubic nanowires using ab-initio calculations. Using standard and linear-scale density func…
