A Short Course on Topological Insulators - arXiv

crucial ingredient. The name topological insulator was coined for such systems, and their study became a blossoming branch of solid state physics. Following the theoretical prediction (Bernevig, Hughes and Zhang, 2006 [5]), electronic transport measurements confirmed that a thin layer of HgTe is a topological insulator (Konig¨ et al, 2007 [21]).
