Abstract

Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by surrounding surface states in which electrons are well described as two-dimensional Dirac fermions. A series of materials have been identified as topological insulators after being theoretically predicted.

Keywords

Topological Insulators Single Dirac Cone Structure Inversion Asymmetry Weak Antilocalization Half Quantization 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
