Broken-gap topological insulators in magnetic fieldsRafał Skolasinski1, Dimitry Pikulin2, and •Michael Wimmer11Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands — 2University of British Columbia, Canada

Two-dimensional topological insulators have helical edge channels protected by time-reversal symmetry, leading to a quantized conductance within the topological gap. A magnetic field breaks time-reversal symmetry, and thus is expected to break the quantization of conductance. Yet, recent experiments on topological insulators in broken-gap InAs/GaSb quantum wells have found very little dependence on magnetic field [1]. We discuss the effects of the orbital and the Zeeman part of the magnetic field on broken-gap quantum wells, and consider in which regime quantized conductance can be preserved.
