Electrically tunable conductance and edge modes in topological crystalline insulator thin films: minimal tight-binding model analysis
Topological crystalline insulators (TCI) have been experimentally manufactured and studied. We propose a minimal tight-binding model for thin films made of TCI on the basis of the mirror and discrete rotational symmetries. The basic term consists of the spin–orbit interaction describing a Weyl semim...
