Spectral signatures of the surface anomalous Hall effect in magnetic axion insulators

Experimentally detectable signature of an axion insulator remains elusive. Here, the authors predict a topological phase diagram of MnBi2Te4/(Bi2Te3)n heterostructure, where the chiral hinge mode induced by the surface anomalous Hall conductivity is identified as a signature of an axion insulator st...
