A Unified View of Topological Phase Transition in Band Theory

We develop a unified view of topological phase transitions (TPTs) in solids by revising the classical band theory with the inclusion of topology. Reevaluating the band evolution from an “atomic crystal” (a normal insulator (NI)) to a solid crystal, such as a semiconductor, we demonstrate that there...
