Topological phase transition in the antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi $$_2$$ 2 Te $$_4$$ 4 from the point of view of axion-like state realization

Abstract This work aims to study the conditions of topological phase transition (TPT) between the topological and trivial states in the antiferromagnetic topological insulator (AFM TI) MnBi $$_2$$ 2 Te $$_4$$ 4 and propose some theory about the relationship of this TPT with the possibility of axion-...
