The Quantum Hall Effect in Topological Insulator-n Junctions x

In collaboration with the Institute of Semiconductor Physics from Russia, Prof. Gennady Gusev studied the quantized transport in HgTe wells with inverted band structure corresponding to the two-dimensional topological insulator phase (2D TI) with locally controlled density allowing n-p-n and n-2D TI-n junctions. The resistance reveals the fractional plateau 2h/e2 in the n-p-n regime in the presence of the strong perpendicular magnetic field.
