Theoregical foundations -- part II. Experimental discoveries -- part III. The road aheadTopological Insulators, volume six in the Contemporary Concepts of Condensed Matter Series, describes the recent revolution in condensed matter physics that occurred in our understanding of crystalline solids. The book chronicles the work done worldwide that led to these discoveries and provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the field. Starting in 2004, theorists began to explore the effect of topology on the physics of band insulators, a field previously considered well understood. However, the inclusion of topology brings key new elements into this oldContemporary concepts of condensed matter science ;v. 6.Condensed matterTopological dynamicsCondensed matter.Topological dynamics.621.31937Franz MarcelMolenkamp LaurensMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910789450203321Topological insulators2095376UNINA
