Abstract: Contrary to the idealized notion of linear edge bands, the non-monotonic dispersions of realistic QSHI materials can host multiple Kramers pairs, reintroducing backscattering channels between them without violating time-reversal symmetry. Here, we investigate inter-Kramers pair backscattering in the non-linear edge bands of the QSHI indenene, highlighting a critical aspect of edge-state stability.
