Using topological insulator proximity to generate perfectly conducting channels in materials without topological protection

Using topological insulator proximity to generate perfectly conducting channels in materials without topological protection

We show that hybrid structures of topological insulators (TI) and materials without topological protection can be employed to create perfectly conducting channels (PCCs) hosted in the non-topological part. These states inherit the topological protection from the proximity of the TI but are more frag...
