Spin-filtered edge states with an electrically tunable gap in a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator
Three-dimensional topological crystalline insulators were recently predicted and observed in the SnTe class of IV-VI semiconductors, which host metallic surface states protected by crystal symmetries. In this work, we study thin films of these materials and expose their potential for device applicat...
