Living on the edge: Topology, electrostatics, and disorder

We address the coexistence of massless and massive topological edge states at the interface between two materials with different topological phases. We modify the well-known Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model to introduce a smooth function describing the band inversion and the band bending due to electrost...
