Evidence for a topological excitonic insulator in InAs/GaSb bilayers

Weakly bound electron–hole pairs may condensate in two-dimensional systems, but experimental evidence has been lacking. Here, Du et al. report optical spectroscopic and electronic transport evidences for the formation of an excitonic insulator gap in topological InAs/GaSb quantum wells.
