Abstract The fine-tuning of topologically protected states in quantum materials holds great promise for novel electronic devices. However, there are limited methods that allow the controlled and efficient modulation crystal lattice while simultaneously monitoring changes structure within a single sample. Here, we apply significant controllable strain to high-quality HfTe 5 samples perform electrical transport measurements reveal topological phase transition from weak insulator strong phase....
Controlling materials to create and tune topological phases of matter could potentially be used explore new quantum novel devices where the carriers are topologically protected. It has been demonstrated that a trivial insulator can converted into state by modulating spin-orbit interaction or crystal lattice. However, there limited methods controllably efficiently lattice at same time perform electronic measurements cryogenic temperatures. Here, we use large controllable strain demonstrate...
