OXYGEN DEFICIENT SNO2(110) AND TIO2(110) - A COMPARATIVE-STUDY BY PHOTOEMISSION by Egdell, R, Eriksen, S, Flavell, W

“…On TiO2 (110), 3d1 polaronic states localised at crystallographic shear planes give rise to a band peaking 1 eV below the Fermi level. By contrast for SnO2 (110) there is strong 5s-5p hybridisation that pushed the Sn2+ lone-pair-like defect state down toward the valence band edge. © 1986.…”

Non-Hermitian non-Abelian topological insulators with PT symmetry by Motohiko Ezawa

“…As it increases, a spontaneous PT symmetry breaking transition occurs in the perfect-flat band model from a real-line-gap topological insulator into an imaginary-line-gap topological insulator. By introducing a band bending term, we realize two phase transitions, where a metallic phase emerges between the above two topological insulator phases. …”

Quantum Hall effect from the topological surface states of strained bulk HgTe. by Brüne, C, Liu, C, Novik, E, Hankiewicz, E, Buhmann, H, Chen, Y, Qi, X, Shen, Z, Zhang, S, Molenkamp, L

“…We report transport studies on a three-dimensional, 70-nm-thick HgTe layer, which is strained by epitaxial growth on a CdTe substrate. The strain induces a band gap in the otherwise semimetallic HgTe, which thus becomes a three-dimensional topological insulator. …”
