Studies of Topological Phases of Matter : Presence of Boundary Modes and their Role in Electrical Transport
Topological phases of matter represent a new phase which cannot be understood in terms of Landau’s theory of symmetry breaking and are characterized by non-local topological properties emerging from purely local (microscopic) degrees of freedom. It is the non-trivial topology of the bulk band struct...
