Pentagonal nanowires from topological crystalline insulators: a platform for intrinsic core-shell nanowires and higher-order topology
{{output}}
We report on the experimental realization of Pb1-xSnx Te pentagonal nanowires (NWs) with [110] orientation using molecular beam epitaxy techniques. Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the structural stability of NWs of SnTe and PbTe in three di... ...
