The impact of electron phonon scattering on transport properties of topological insulators: A first principles quantum transport study

Elaheh Akhoundi et al.

Summary: We used first-principles calculations and non-equilibrium Green's function to study carrier transport in the edges of topological insulator ribbons. We investigated the effects of electron-phonon interactions on the edge state transport. We found that electron-phonon scattering can lead to the destruction of dissipationless transport in topological insulators with small bulk gaps, but the transport can still be achieved if restricted to the protected states.

Unprotected edge modes in quantum spin Hall insulator candidate materials

Nguyen Minh Nguyen et al.

Summary: Experiments on HgTe/CdTe and InAs/GaSb heterostructures, which are potential candidates for quantum spin Hall insulators, reveal the existence of additional edge states besides the topologically protected helical edge modes. Using first-principles calculations, an effective tight-binding model is derived for these materials, showing that the additional edge states are sensitive to edge termination. These states originate from a minimal model supporting flat bands with nontrivial quantum geometry and give rise to polarization charges at the edges.

Optimizing topological switching in confined 2D-Xene nanoribbons via finite-size effects

Muhammad Nadeem et al.

Summary: By employing a gate-induced topological quantum phase transition, edge state transport in a topological insulator material can be controlled. This study suggests that zigzag-Xene nanoribbons are promising materials for topological electronics, displaying unique physical characteristics related to intrinsic band topology and finite-size effects on gate-induced topological switching.

Interplay of quantum spin Hall effect and spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in electron-hole bilayers. I. Transport properties

Tania Paul et al.

Summary: This study investigates the band-inverted electron-hole bilayers in InAs/GaSb and demonstrates the time-reversal symmetry broken phase caused by Coulomb interactions. The transport properties in this phase are consistent with recent experimental observations. Additionally, a quantum transport study on a Corbino disk reveals unambiguous transport signatures of the broken phase.

Breakdown of topological protection due to nonmagnetic edge disorder in two-dimensional materials in the quantum spin Hall phase

Leandro R. F. Lima et al.

Summary: We study the suppression of conductance quantization in quantum spin Hall systems due to electronic interactions and edge disorder. Our results reveal the interplay between electronic localized states and electron-electron interactions, leading to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry and topological protection of edge states in 2D topological systems. We find that edge disorder causes small deviations in perfect quantized conductance in short samples and strong suppression in long samples.

Advanced DFT-NEGF Transport Techniques for Novel 2-D Material and Device Exploration Including HfS2/WSe2 van der Waals Heterojunction TFET and WTe2/WS2 Metal/Semiconductor Contact

A. Afzalian et al.

Summary: This paper presents advanced density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function techniques implemented in ATOMOS for exploring transport in novel materials and devices, particularly in van der Waals heterojunction transistors. The methodologies used include plane-wave DFT, Wannierization, and linear combination of atomic orbital DFT to create orthogonal and nonorthogonal NEGF models, with a focus on electron-phonon scattering within a nonorthogonal framework. Applications of these methods include exploration of novel 2-D materials and devices, such as dynamically doped FETs and vdW tunneling field-effect transistors.

Disorder effects of vacancies on the electronic transport properties of realistic topological insulator nanoribbons: The case of bismuthene

Armando Pezo et al.

Summary: The study found that in narrow nanoribbons, even small vacancy concentrations can lead to the breakdown of topological protection; while in wide nanoribbons, topological protection is more robust, but moderate structural disorder can still break it down.

Summary: The research shows that the width of ML Na3Bi nanoribbons significantly affects their properties, with extremely narrow nanoribbons opening a bandgap due to the quantum confinement effect and transitioning into a topological insulator under external electric field, exhibiting excellent conductivity.
