Thermoelectric transport in temperature-driven two-dimensional topological insulators
Abstract We theoretically investigate on the thermoelectric (TE) transport properties of edge and bulk states in a temperature-driven two-dimensional (2D) topological insulator (TI) realized from CdTe/HgTe/CdTe quantum wells (QWs). It is found that the temperature can effectively drive a TI phase in...
