We report a detailed experimental study of the band structure of the recently discovered topological material $textrm{Hf}_{2}textrm{Te}_2textrm{P}$. Using the combination of scanning tunneling spectroscopy and angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy with surface K-doping, we probe the band structure of $textrm{Hf}_{2}textrm{Te}_2textrm{P}$ with energy and momentum resolution above the Fermi level. Our experiments show the presence of multiple surface states with a linear Dirac-like dispersion, consistent with the predictions from previously reported band structure calculations. In particular, scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements provide the first experimental evidence for the strong topological surface state predicted at 460 meV, which stems from the band inversion between Hf-d and Te-p orbitals. This band inversion comprised of more localized d-states could result in a better surface-to-bulk conductance ratio relative to more traditional topological insulators.

We study the electronic properties of the $textrm{Fe}textrm{Se}_{1-x}textrm{Te}_x$ system ($x=0$, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) from the perspective of X-ray spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). The analysis performed on the density of states
reveals marked differences in the distribution of the $5p$ states of Te for $x>0$. We think that this finding can be associated with the fact that superconductivity is suppressed in FeTe. Moreover, using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering, we estimate the spin state of our system which can be correlated to the magnetic order. We find that the spin state of the $textrm{Fe}textrm{Se}_{1-x}textrm{Te}_x$ system fluctuates, as a function of $x$, between $S=0$ and $S=2$ with Fe in FeSe in the highest spin state. Finally, our DFT calculations nicely reproduce the X-ray emission spectra performed at the Fe $L$-edge (which probe the occupied states) and suggest that the $textrm{Fe}textrm{Se}_{1-x}textrm{Te}_x$ system can be considered at most as a moderately correlated system.
The La-based 214 cuprates host several symmetry breaking phases including superconductivity, charge and spin order in the form of stripes, and a structural othorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition. Therefore, these materials are an ideal system to
study the effects of uniaxial stress onto the various correlations that pervade the cuprate phase diagram. We report resonant x-ray scattering experiments on $textrm{La}_{1.475}textrm{Nd}_{0.4}textrm{Sr}_{0.125}textrm{Cu}textrm{O}_{4}$ (LNSCO-125) that reveal a significant response of charge stripes to uniaxial tensile-stress of $sim$ 0.1 GPa. These effects include a reduction of the onset temperature of stripes by $sim$ 50 K, a 29 K reduction of the low-temperature orthorhombic-to-tetragonal transition, competition between charge order and superconductivity, and a preference for stripes to form along the direction of applied stress. Altogether, we observe a dramatic response of the electronic properties of LNSCO-125 to a modest amount of uniaxial stress.
The unoccupied part of the band structure in the magnetic topological insulator MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ is studied by first-principles calculations. We find a second, unoccupied topological surface state with similar electronic structure to the celebrated occ
upied topological surface state. This state is energetically located approximate $1.6$ eV above the occupied Dirac surface state around $Gamma$ point, which permit it to be directly observed by the two-photon angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We propose a unified effective model for the occupied and unoccupied surface states. Due to the direct optical coupling between these two surface states, we further propose two optical effects to detect the unoccupied surface state. One is the polar Kerr effect in odd layer from nonvanishing ac Hall conductance $sigma_{xy}(omega)$, and the other is higher-order terahertz-sideband generation in even layer, where the non-vanishining Berry curvature of the unoccupied surface state is directly observed from the giant Faraday rotation of optical emission.
We report a high-field magnetotransport study on selected low-carrier crystals of the topological insulator Bi$_{2-x}$Sb${_x}$Te$_{3-y}$Se$_{y}$. Monochromatic Shubnikov - de Haas (SdH) oscillations are observed at 4.2~K and their two-dimensional nat
ure is confirmed by tilting the magnetic field with respect to the sample surface. With help of Lifshitz-Kosevich theory, important transport parameters of the surface states are obtained, including the carrier density, cyclotron mass and mobility. For $(x,y)=(0.50,1.3)$ the Landau level plot is analyzed in terms of a model based on a topological surface state in the presence of a non-ideal linear dispersion relation and a Zeeman term with $g_s = 70$ or $-54$. Input parameters were taken from the electronic dispersion relation measured directly by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy on crystals from the same batch. The Hall resistivity of the same crystal (thickness of 40~$mu$m) is analyzed in a two-band model, from which we conclude that the ratio of the surface conductance to the total conductance amounts to 32~%.
Helical spin textures with the marked spin polarizations of topological surface states have been firstly unveiled by the state-of-the-art spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy for two promising topological insulators Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se and
Bi$_2$Se$_2$Te. The highly spin-polarized natures are found to be persistent across the Dirac point in both compounds. This novel finding paves a pathway to extending their utilization of topological surface state for future spintronic applications.
