In this book, the author theoretically studies two aspects of
topological states. First, novel states arising from hybridizing
surface states of topological insulators are theoretically
introduced. As a remarkable example, the author shows the existence
of gapless interface states at the interface between two different
topological insulators, which belong to the same topological phase.
While such interface states are usually gapped due to
hybridization, the author proves that the interface states are in
fact gapless when the two topological insulators have opposite
chiralities. This is the first time that gapless topological novel
interface states protected by mirror symmetry have been proposed.
Second, the author studies the Weyl semimetal phase in thin
topological insulators subjected to a magnetic field. This Weyl
semimetal phase possesses edge states showing abnormal dispersion,
which is not observed without mirror symmetry. The author explains
that the edge states gain a finite velocity by a particular form of
inversion symmetry breaking, which makes it possible to observe the
phenomenon by means of electric conductivity.
