1. Topological insulators and superconductorsReviews of Modern Physics · 2011 · 14,465 citations

   Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full insulating gap in the bulk and gapless edge or surface states which are protected by time-reversal…

2. Quantum Spin Hall Effect and Topological Phase Transition in HgTe Quantum WellsScience · 2006 · 7,113 citations

   We show that the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect, a state of matter with topological properties distinct from those of conventional insulators, can be realized in mercury telluride-cadmium telluride semiconductor quantum wells. When the thickness of the quantum well is…

3. Quantum Spin Hall Insulator State in HgTe Quantum WellsScience · 2007 · 6,158 citations

   Recent theory predicted that the quantum spin Hall effect, a fundamentally new quantum state of matter that exists at zero external magnetic field, may be realized in HgTe/(Hg,Cd)Te quantum wells. We fabricated such sample structures with low density and high…
