Synchrotron-Radiation Studies of Topological Insulators

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Magnetism and Synchrotron Radiation: Towards the Fourth Generation Light Sources

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 151))

Abstract

Topological insulators are a recently discovered class of materials with entirely novel properties. While their bulk electronic structure is that of an insulator, topological considerations force the surfaces to support metallic states that bridge the bulk band gap. This Chapter gives an accessible introduction to these materials, with special emphasis on synchrotron radiation-based experimental techniques that have been used for their experimental discovery.
