Topological zero-dimensional defect and flux states in three-dimensional insulators

Many topological crystalline phases have unknown physical responses. Here, the authors systematically extend the theory of defect and flux responses to predict zero-dimensional (0D) states in topological crystalline materials, including 2D PbTe monolayers and 3D SnTe.
