Antiferromagnetic VdW Phase at the Interface of Sputtered Topological Insulator/Ferromagnet-Bi2Te3/Ni80Fe20 Heterostructures
Magnetic ordering in topological insulators (TI) is crucial for breaking time-reversal symmetry (TRS) and thereby opening a gap in the topological surface states (TSSs) [1-6], which is the key for…

Type-II Ising superconductivity and anomalous metallic state in macro-size ambient-stable ultrathin crystalline films.
TLDR
A systematic transport study on the ultrathin crystalline PdTe2 films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) finds a new type of Ising superconductivity in 2D centrosymmetric materials is revealed by the detection of large in-plane critical field more than 7 times Pauli limit.
Magnetic topological insulators
The importance of global band topology is unequivocally recognized in condensed matter physics, and new states of matter, such as topological insulators, have been discovered. Owing to their bulk…

The experimental discovery of high-Chern-number QHE (C = 2) without Landau levels and C = 1 Chern insulator state displaying a nearly quantized Hall resistance plateau above the Néel temperature in MnBi2Te4 devices is reported.
Topological magneto-optical effects and their quantization in noncoplanar antiferromagnets
TLDR
It is demonstrated that topological magneto-optical effects can arise in noncoplanar antiferromagnets due to the finite scalar spin chirality, without any reference to exchange splitting or spin-orbit coupling.
Topological quantum computation based on chiral Majorana fermions
TLDR
It is shown that the propagation of chiral Majorana fermions leads to the same unitary transformation as that in the braiding of Majorana zero modes and a platform to perform quantum computation with chiral majors is proposed.
