Description for A Short Course on Topological Insulators: Band Structure and Edge States in One and Two Dimensions
Paperback. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 180 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHF; PHK; PHU; TJFD5. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This course-based primer provides newcomers to the field with a concise introduction to some of the core topics in the emerging field of topological insulators. The aim is to provide a basic understanding of edge states, bulk topological invariants, and of the bulk--boundary correspondence with as simple mathematical tools as possible. The present approach uses noninteracting lattice models of topological insulators, building gradually on these to arrive from the simplest one-dimensional case (the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model for polyacetylene) to two-dimensional time-reversal invariant topological insulators (the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model for HgTe).
