Electrical transport and optical studies of spin-orbit coupled topological phases in different correlation regimes
The interplay of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron correlation in different regimes gave birth to many novel topological phases with exotic properties ranging from quantum transport to superconductivity. One ... -
Electrical transport in 3-dimensional topological insulators
Topological insulators (TI) are a new class of materials in which gapped bulk states coexist with gapless surface-states having linear energy-momentum dispersion relation protected by time-reversal symmetry. These ... -
Fluctuations in quantum transport in topological insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) belong to a new class of materials characterized by linear surface states, which emerge in the bulk band gap due to non-trivial topology of the band structure. These surface states have various ... -
Living on the Edge A Study of Boundary Modes In Two-dimensional Topological Systems
In the last few decades an enormous amount of research has been carried out on some novel phases of matter called topological phases which are beyond the paradigm of Landau’s theory of symmetry breaking. One of the ... -
On the electrical transport of weak topological insulators and Weyl semimetals
Topological insulators have garnered enormous amount of attention owing to their unique topological properties. The surface states protected by the topology of the system hold limitless potentials including topological ... -
Transport and criticality in topological systems and spin models
This thesis presents work done on transport in topological insulators and graphene-based systems, and quantum criticality in one- and two-dimensional spin models. In particular we study the following: transport on surfaces ...
