Deskripsi

The antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 exhibits Chern and axion insulator phases at low magnetic field; however, its behaviour in high magnetic field has remained unexplored. Here, using transport measurements at high magnetic field, the authors report a zero Hall plateau composed of two counter-propagating edge channels.
