This re-creation offers a unified description of those insulators from one to 3 dimensions according to the converted Dirac equation. It derives a chain of recommendations of the certain states close to the boundary, and describes the present prestige of those ideas. Readers are brought to topological invariants and their purposes to various platforms from one-dimensional polyacetylene, to two-dimensional quantum spin corridor influence and p-wave superconductors, third-dimensional topological insulators and superconductors or superfluids, and topological Weyl semimetals, assisting them to higher comprehend this interesting field.

To mirror learn advances in topological insulators, a number of elements of the e-book were up to date for the second one version, together with: Spin-Triplet Superconductors, Superconductivity in Doped Topological Insulators, Detection of Majorana Fermions etc. specifically, the publication contains a new bankruptcy on Weyl semimetals, a subject matter that has attracted substantial awareness and has already turn into a brand new hotpot of analysis within the community.
