A Short Course on Topological Insulators Band Structure and Edge States in One and Two Dimensions /

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 s...
