Introduction to Topological Insulators

Abstract

In this article, we will give a brief introduction to the topological insulators. We will briefly review some of the recent progresses, from both theoretical and experimental sides. In particular, we will emphasize the recent progresses achieved in China.

A short introduction to topological insulators published in 2012. More extended one see arXiv:1410.4614
