Electrical charges on the boundaries of topological insulators favour forward motion over
back-scattering at impurities, producing low-dissipation, metallic states that exist up to room …

Topological insulators provide a gateway to investigate fundamental quantum behaviours of
exotic quasi‐particles as well as the promise to revolutionize modern technology. This is due …

Electric charges on the boundaries of certain insulators are programmed by topology to
keep moving forward when they encounter an obstacle, rather than scattering backwards …

There are only few discoveries and new technologies in physical sciences that have the
potential to dramatically alter and revolutionize our electronic world. Topological insulators …

Certain insulators have exotic metallic states on their surfaces. These states are formed by
topological effects that also render the electrons travelling on such surfaces insensitive to …

Topological Insulators, volume six in the Contemporary Concepts of Condensed Matter
Series, describes the recent revolution in condensed matter physics that occurred in our …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

Topological surface states, a new kind of electronic state of matter, have recently been
observed on the cleaved surfaces of crystals of a handful of small band gap semiconductors …

Topological insulators display unique properties, such as the quantum spin Hall effect,
because time-reversal symmetry allows charges and spins to propagate along the edge or …
