We report magnetotransport measurements on magnetically doped (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In Hallbar devices, logarithmic dependence on temperature and bias voltage are obseved in both the longitudinal and anomalous Hall resistance. The interplay of disorder and electron-electron interactions is found to explain quantitatively the observed logarithmic singularities and is a dominant scattering mechanism in these samples. Submicron scale devices exhibit intriguing quantum oscillations at high magnetic fields with dependence on bias voltage. The observed quantum oscillations can be attributed to bulk and surface transport.

Twin domains are naturally present in the topological insulator BiSe{} and affect strongly its properties. While studies of its behavior for ideal BiSe{} structure exist, little is known about their possible interaction with other defects. Extra info
rmation are needed especially for the case of artificial perturbation of topological insulator states by magnetic doping, which has attracted a lot of attention recently. Employing ab initio calculations based on layered Greens function formalism, we study the interaction between twin planes in BiSe{}. We show the influence of various magnetic and non-magnetic chemical defects on the twin plane formation energy and discuss the related modification of their distribution. Furthermore, we examine the change of dopants magnetic properties at sites in the vicinity of a twin plane, and the dopants preference to occupy such sites. Our results suggest that twin planes repel each other at least over distance of $3-4$~nm. However, in the presence of magnetic Mn and Fe defects a close TP placement is preferred. Furthermore, calculated twin plane formation energies indicate that in this situation their formation becomes suppressed. Finally, we discuss the influence of twin planes on the surface band gap.
We show that in excitonic insulators with $s$-wave electron-hole pairing, an applied electric field (either pulsed or static) can induce a $p$-wave component to the order parameter, and further drive it to rotate in the $s+ip$ plane, realizing a Thou
less charge pump. In one dimension, each cycle of rotation pumps exactly two electrons across the sample. Higher dimensional systems can be viewed as a stack of one dimensional chains in momentum space in which each chain crossing the fermi surface contributes a channel of charge pumping. Physics beyond the adiabatic limit, including in particular dissipative effects is discussed.
Motivated by the discovery of the quantum anomalous Hall effect in Cr-doped ce{(Bi,Sb)2Te3} thin films, we study the generic states for magnetic topological insulators and explore the physical properties for both magnetism and itinerant electrons. Fi
rst-principles calculations are exploited to investigate the magnetic interactions between magnetic Co atoms adsorbed on the ce{Bi2Se3} (111) surface. Due to the absence of inversion symmetry on the surface, there are Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya-like twisted spin interactions between the local moments of Co ions. These nonferromagnetic interactions twist the collinear spin configuration of the ferromagnet and generate various magnetic orders beyond a simple ferromagnet. Among them, the spin spiral state generates alternating counterpropagating modes across each period of spin states, and the skyrmion lattice even supports a chiral mode around the core of each skyrmion. The skyrmion lattice opens a gap at the surface Dirac point, resulting in the anomalous Hall effect. These results may inspire further experimental investigation of magnetic topological insulators.
Quantum mechanics postulates that any measurement influences the state of the investigated system. Here, by means of angle-, spin-, and time-resolved photoemission experiments and ab initio calculations we demonstrate how non-equal depopulation of th
e Dirac cone (DC) states with opposite momenta in V-doped and pristine topological insulators (TIs) created by a photoexcitation by linearly polarized synchrotron radiation (SR) is followed by the hole-generated uncompensated spin accumulation and the SR-induced magnetization via the spin-torque effect. We show that the photoexcitation of the DC is asymmetric, that it varies with the photon energy, and that it practically does not change during the relaxation. We find a relation between the photoexcitation asymmetry, the generated spin accumulation and the induced spin polarization of the DC and V 3d states. Experimentally the SR-generated in-plane and out-of-plane magnetization is confirmed by the $k_{parallel}$-shift of the DC position and by the splitting of the states at the Dirac point even above the Curie temperature. Theoretical predictions and estimations of the measurable physical quantities substantiate the experimental results.
We present a general approach to obtain effective field theories for topological crystalline insulators whose low-energy theories are described by massive Dirac fermions. We show that these phases are characterized by the responses to spatially depen
dent mass parameters with interfaces. These mass interfaces implement the dimensional reduction procedure such that the state of interest is smoothly deformed into a topological crystal, which serves as a representative state of a phase in the general classification. Effective field theories are obtained by integrating out the massive Dirac fermions, and various quantized topological terms are uncovered. Our approach can be generalized to other crystalline symmetry protected topological phases and provides a general strategy to derive effective field theories for such crystalline topological phases.
