Abstract: Td-WTe2 (non-centrosymmetric and orthorhombic), a type-II Weyl semimetal, is expected to have higher-order topological phases with topologically protected, helical one-dimensional hinge states when its Weyl points are annihilated. However, the detection of these hinge states… read more here.

Abstract: Higher-order topological insulators, as a novel family of topological phases, are a hot frontier in condensed matter physics due to their adherence to unconventional bulk-boundary correspondence. A three-dimensional second-order topological insulator can support one-dimensional modes… read more here.

Abstract: We extend the theory of dipole moments in crystalline insulators to higher multipole moments. In this paper, we expand in great detail the theory presented in Ref. 1, and extend it to cover associated topological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aat0346
Abstract: A new class of materials that are insulating in the bulk and on surfaces but have conducting hinge channels is studied. Three-dimensional topological (crystalline) insulators are materials with an insulating bulk but conducting surface states… read more here.
