Electrically Tunable Quantum Spin Hall State in Topological Crystalline Insulator Thin films [PDF]
Based on a combination of $k \cdot p$ theory, band topology analysis and electronic structure calculations, we predict the (111) thin films of the SnTe class of three-dimensional (3D) topological crystalline insulators realize the quantum spin Hall phase

FRACTAL STRUCTURE OF TITANIUM NITRITE DEPOSITED ON STAINLESS STEEL SUBSTRATE
On the basis of images obtained using scanning tunneling microscope, it was shown that the fractal dimension can be considered as some universal surface characteristic of the titanium nitrite, deposited on stainless steel.

Circles in the Sky: Finding Topology with the Microwave Background Radiation [PDF]
If the universe is finite and smaller than the distance to the surface of last scatter, then the signature of the topology of the universe is writ large on the microwave background sky.

Topological states on the gold surface [PDF]
AbstractGold surfaces host special electronic states that have been understood as a prototype of Shockley surface states. These surface states are commonly employed to benchmark the capability of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy.

Transmission of topological surface states through surface barriers [PDF]
Topological surface states are a class of novel electronic states that are of potential interest in quantum computing or spintronic applications. Unlike conventional two-dimensional electron states, these surface states are expected to be immune to localization and to overcome barriers caused by material imperfection.

The metric space of geodesic laminations on a surface II: small surfaces [PDF]
We continue our investigation of the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff topology. We determine the topology of this space for the once-punctured torus and the 4-times-punctured sphere.

Neutral surface topology [PDF]
Neutral surfaces, along which most of the mixing in the ocean occurs, are notoriously difficult objects: they do not exist as well-defined surfaces, and as such can only be approximated. In a hypothetical ocean where neutral surfaces are well-defined, the in-situ density on the surface is a multivalued function of the pressure on the surface ...
