Discovery of higher-order topological insulators using the spin Hall conductivity as a topology signature
This article shows a connection between spin Hall effect and HOTIs using a combination of ab initio calculations and tight-binding modeling.

This work guides novel experimental and theoretical advances towards higher-order topological insulator realization and applications.
Disentangling Orbital and Valley Hall Effects in Bilayers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
This article shows that a bilayer of 2H-MoS₂ is an orbital Hall insulator that exhibits a sizeable orbital Hall effect in the absence of both spin and valley Hall effects. The results are based on density functional theory and low-energy effective model calculations and strongly suggest that bilayers of TMDs are highly suitable platforms for direct observation of the orbital Hall insulating phase in two-dimensional materials.

Unexpected Structures for Intercalation of Sodium in Epitaxial Graphene-SiC Interfaces
In this paper, the authors show using scanning tunneling microscopy, spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations that several intercalation structures exist for Na in epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001). Intercalation takes place at room temperature and Na electron-dopes the graphene. It intercalates in-between single-layer graphene and the carbon-rich interfacial layer. It also penetrates beneath the interfacial layer and decouples it to form a second graphene layer. This decoupling is accelerated by annealing and is verified by direct Na deposition onto the interface layer. The authors' observations show that intercalation in graphene is fundamentally different than in graphite and is a versatile means of electronic control.
