The focusing effect of electron flow and negative refraction in three-dimensional topological insulators

We numerically study the focusing effect induced by a single p – n junction in three-dimensional topological insulators (3D TIs). It is found that, for either surface states or bulk states of 3D TIs, the corresponding electrons injected from the n / p region can be perfectly focused at the symmetric...
