Researchers gain new insights into the interaction of topological insulators
An international team of researchers has succeeded in understanding, for the first time, how the topological properties of multilayer systems of Tungsten di-telluride (WTe2) can be changed systematically by means of scanning tunneling microscopy.
WTe2 has been found to be a promising material for the realization of topological states, which are regarded as the key to novel spintronics devices and quantum computers of the future due to their unique electronic properties.
