Quantum Spin Hall Effect and Topological insulators
报告介绍 摘要:Recently, a new class of topological states has been proposed and experimentally realized. These topological insulators have an insulating gap in the bulk, but have topologically protected edge or surface states due to the time reversal symmetry. In two dimensions the edge states give rise to the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect, in the absence of any external magnetic field. I shall review the ...
