Temperature-driven massless Kane fermions in HgCdTe crystals

Kane fermions are predicted to be tunable with external parameters such as temperature. Here, Teppe et al. show a band structure evolution of bulk HgCdTe as temperature is tuned across topological phase transition, demonstrating that Kane fermions change sign in rest-mass and remain constant in velo...

Sumario:Kane fermions are predicted to be tunable with external parameters such as temperature. Here, Teppe et al. show a band structure evolution of bulk HgCdTe as temperature is tuned across topological phase transition, demonstrating that Kane fermions change sign in rest-mass and remain constant in velocity.
