In particular, two-dimensional topological insulators (2D TI) possess gapless counter propagating conducting edge channels, with opposite spin, that are topologically protected from backscattering.

On the other hand for longer channels the conductance has been found to deviate from the quantized value. This article reviewer the experimental and theoretical work related to the transport in two-dimensional topological insulators (2D-TI), based on HgTe quantum wells in zero magnetic field.
