PHYS 8530 - Topological Phys Cond Matter

Institution:

Clemson University

Subject:

Physics

Description:

The study of topological insulators, as an extension of the band theory of solids. The basic theory of topological insulators and topological superconductors is covered, including Block theory, Berry connection, graphene/polyacetylene, and the integer quantum Hall effect. Both theory and experimentsin topological quantum condensed matter physics are reviewed.
