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 old 410 0$aContemporary concepts of condensed matter science ;$vv. 6. 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aTopological dynamics 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aTopological dynamics. 676 $a621.31937 702 $aFranz$b Marcel 702 $aMolenkamp$b Laurens 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789450203321 996 $aTopological insulators$92095376 997 $aUNINA
