    Observation of Edge Transport in the Disordered Regime of Topologically Insulating InAs/GaSb Quantum Wells

    We observe edge transport in the topologically insulating InAs=GaSb system in the disordered regime. Using asymmetric current paths we show that conduction occurs exclusively along the device edge, exhibiting a large Hall signal at zero magnetic fields, while for symmetric current paths, the conductance between the two mesoscopicly separated probes is quantized to 2e2=h. Both quantized and self-averaged transport show resilience to magnetic fields, and are temperature independent for temperatures between 20 mK and 1 K.
