Itable}, title = {Effect of opposite-spin coupling on the edge states of two-dimensional topological insulator}, abstract = {The Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model for a two-dimensional topological insulator, insulator with conducting edges, is modified. In particular, we introduce a coupling between opposite spins that preserves the model{\textquoteright}s time reversal invariance. We derive the wave function and the existence conditions for the edge states. With these conditions and tight-binding calculations, we show that that the edge states are robust when the coupling is weak and lesser than the material parameter characterizing the spin-orbit coupling.}, year = {2017}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 35th Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Conference}, pages = {SPP-2017-PB-13}, month = {7{\textendash}10 June 2017}, address = {Cebu City, Philippines}, url = {http://paperview.spp-online.org/proceedings/article/view/101}, }
