Topological quantum phase transition from mirror to time reversal symmetry protected topological insulator

Transitions between topological phases of matter protected by different symmetries remain rare. Here, Mandal et al. report a quantum phase transition from a topological crystalline insulator to a Z2 topological insulator by doping Bi into Pb1-x Sn x Se (111) thin films.
