In topological two-dimensional systems, gap modification near system edges, can lead to the appearance of massive edge states, as we have shown in earlier work [1]. In graphene, it is the Kane-Mele Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) that leads to the opening of a topological gap [2]. Here we will deal with systems subject to inhomogeneous SOC. In zigzag nanoribbons, smooth spatial modification of SOC near the edges results in in-gap massive edge states at the K and K′ points. In armchair nanoribbons, such massive states appear at the Γ point. We analyse the properties of these states, and propose how to measure and tune them [3].
