Graphene-Based Heterojunction between Two Topological Insulators

Quantum Hall (QH) and quantum spin Hall (QSH) phases have very different edge states and, when going from one phase to the other, the direction of one edge state must be reversed. We study this phenomenon in graphene in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field on top of a spin-orbit (SO...
