37 TCI - materials
38 Summary Topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) are a new class of quantum materials in which the topological protection of metallic surface states is warranted not by time-reversal symmetry as in TI but by specific crystalline symmetries. Pb 1-x Sn x Se IV-VI narrow gap semiconductor is a TCI, in which a temperature-driven topological phase transition is observed from a trivial insulator to a TCI due to band inversion. We discussed growth of monocrystals, electronic band structure investigations by angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES, SRPES), magneto-transport studies, and electronic band structure calculations of Pb 1-x Sn x Se (x 0.4).
