Description:
Author(s): V. Parente, P. Lucignano, P. Vitale, A. Tagliacozzo, and F. Guinea We study the surface resistivity of a three-dimensional topological insulator when the boundaries exhibit a nontrivial curvature. We obtain an analytical solution for a spherical topological insulator, and we show that a nontrivial quantum spin connection emerges from the three-dimensional band stru... [Phys. Rev.
