Higher-order topological insulator in cubic semiconductor quantum wells

Abstract The search for exotic new topological states of matter in widely accessible materials, for which the manufacturing process is mastered, is one of the major challenges of the current topological physics. Here we predict higher order topological insulator state in quantum wells based on the m...
