Physicists finally build a quantum material predicted more than a decade ago

Physicists in Finland have successfully created a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator, a quantum material predicted over a decade ago. The team used tin telluride on a niobium diselenide substrate to achieve the desired electronic properties.
Physicists from the University of Jyv skyl and Aalto University in Finland have successfully created a two dimensional topological crystalline insulator, marking the first experimental realization of a quantum material that scientists had predicted for more than a decade. Until now, attempts to produce it had been held back by difficulties in developing the right materials.
