Description:
Author(s): Rex Lundgren, Hennadii Yerzhakov, and Joseph Maciejko We study the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in the helical surface state of three-dimensional topological insulators due to strong electron-electron interactions, focusing on time-reversal invariant nematic order. Owing to the strongly spin-orbit coupled nature of the surface state, the... [Phys. Rev. B 96, 235140] Published Tue Dec 26, 2017
