Chiral and helical states in selective-area epitaxial heterostructure

Abstract The quasi-1D chiral edge states in a quantum anomalous Hall insulator are dissipationless, while the 2D helical surface states in a topological insulator are insensitive to spin-independent scatterings due to the topological protection. Both serve as essential ingredients for topological el...
