Controllable quantum point junction on the surface of an antiferromagnetic topological insulator

Recent advances in the identification and growth of antiferromagnetic topological insulators open the way to the manipulation of the chiral edge states that are topologically required at their step edges and domain walls. Here, the authors propose a quantum point junction formed by two types of edge...
