| Found in | Work cat: Advanced topological insulators, 2019: ECIP publisher summary (Area of research in condensed matter physics) galley chapter 10 ("Topological insulators are electronics materials that have bulk bandgap like ordinary insulator. But they have secured conducting states on their edge or surface that behaves like a conducting metal. These surfaces have unique plasmonic properties of Topological Insulators (TI) and have many promising application using the plasmons--quantized electron density oscillations resulting from the interaction of light with metals. The high oscillating frequency and the high sensitivity to the metallic surface characteristics made plasmons for various applications like biosensors, high speed data transfer and surface bound to exploit spin based oscillations by controlling the collective spin excitations (spin plasmons) were useful for spintronics applications.") Wikipedia, viewed Feb. 13, 2019 (Topological insulator; "material with non-trivial symmetry-protected topological order that behaves as an insulator in its interior but whose surface contains conducting states, meaning that electrons can only move along the surface of the material. However, having a conducting surface is not unique to topological insulators, since ordinary band insulators can also support conductive surface states. What is special about topological insulators is that their surface states are symmetry-protected by particle number conservation and time reversal symmetry" Engineering village, viewed Feb. 13, 2019 (uncontrolled index term: Topologial insulators) Inspec, viewed Feb. 13, 2019 (controlled indexing: Topological insulators) Applied science and engineering index, viewed Feb. 13, 2019 (subject term: Topological insulators) |
