Evidence for Topological Edge States in a Large Energy Gap near the Step Edges on the Surface of ZrTe_{5}
Two-dimensional topological insulators with a large bulk band gap are promising for experimental studies of quantum spin Hall effect and for spintronic device applications. Despite considerable theoretical efforts in predicting large-gap two-dimensional topological insulator candidates, none of them...
