Quantum spin Hall effect and topological phase transition in InNxBiySb1−x−y/InSb quantum wells by Song, Zhigang, Bose, Sumanta, Fan, Weijun, Zhang, Dao Hua, Zhang, Yan Yang, Li, Shu Shen

“…Here, we propose and demonstrate as a proof-of-concept that QSH effect and topological phase transitions can be realized in ${\mathrm{InN}}_{x}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{y}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{1-x-y}$/InSb semiconductor quantum wells (QWs). The simultaneous incorporation of nitrogen and bismuth in InSb is instrumental in lowering the bandgap, while inducing opposite kinds of strain to attain a near-lattice-matching conducive for lattice growth. …”
