Abstract

The article presents the research conducted on two-dimensional topological insulator that exhibits the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect. Topologically protected conducting channels exist at the sample edges. Experimental signatures of the QSH effect have been found in an atomically thin material, monolayer WTe2.
