Observation of Coulomb gap in the quantum spin Hall candidate single-layer 1T’-WTe2

The conductance from bulk bands in a topological insulator usually blurs effects arising from edge states. Here, Song et al. report a Coulomb gap opened by electron–electron interactions, which effectively suppress the bulk conductance and promote observation of topological edge states in the single...
