The contents of the Topological insulator growth page were merged into Topological insulator on 24 August 2019. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
I have rewritten this page to try to make it better organized and more accessible to non condensed matter physicists. I tried to include as much of the original material as possible, but if there is anything that was left out please add it back in. Cheers A13ean ( talk) 01:31, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

There is a reference to 'band inversion' but we don't have an article on it under that name. Is there a different name we should link to? RJFJR ( talk) 01:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
In addition to Feb 2011 article already referenced by article, there's another article by same author in IEEE Spectrum here: http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/materials/topological-insulators/0. Cheers, Rayshade ( talk) 23:49, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
This section is currently not very readable, and not entirely encyclopedic in tone. Anyone want to take a stab at cleaning it up? a13ean ( talk) 03:55, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
@a13ean I am not sure whether this section is necessary at all. Perhaps a sentence that these shouldn't be confused and a reference to topological order? Anton.akhmerov ( talk) 03:21, 21 November 2012 (UTC)--
Nature has an article [1] about samarium hexaboride possibly being a topological insulator. There are a few papers on arXiv regarding this. Would this information be appropriate to add to the article, or does it need to be published in a peer reviewed journal first? - W0lfie ( talk) 18:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Using the very second sentence of the article to say that samarium hexaboride might be a TI seems excessive. This should be removed or moved to somewhere down in the article. The article doesn't even mention the more "popular" TIs like Bi_2Se_3. -- 128.101.214.142 ( talk) 18:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
I agree with 128.101.214.142. Bismuth compounds should be given more attention in the paper. Samarium hexaboride on the other hand is in a very early stage of its development. Anton.akhmerov ( talk) 18:47, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
I'm not a condensed-matter physicist, so the reason for the sudden mention of graphene in (what is currently) the third section ... seems meaningless. I understand that graphene is a "hot" subject ; that it has many intrinsically 2-dimensional properties (like "surfaces" in general), but the specific relevance of "topological insulators" to graphene ... I don't see what the significance is. So ... C-M physicists, to whom the relevance is blindingly obvious, please expand this a bit. Aidan Karley ( talk) 13:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmm. dont worry about it, I have a PHD in physics, albeit from the 1990s, but in lasers and fibre optics, and I dont understand it either, you are certainly not alone - though I would not say its too technical, it's just not made clear !!
Having looked up the explanatioin of T-symetry to see if I could crack what the first scentance was actually on about, I've given up,
it needs a modern solid state physics person who speaks english to look at both those articles and add some introductory words , regards,

a) what topological insulators look like, b) where they may be found, or c) why they matter ...
A new article Topological insulator growth has appeared. However it covers quite a bit of the same content as this article. But a couple of sections could be moved into here. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 23:49, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
Merger complete.
What units are used to measure surface conductivity - Is it Siemens per square (independent of dimension) as for sheet resistance ? Have any TI been measured ? - Rod57 ( talk) 14:02, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
The second paragraph talks of Z-2 topolical invariants, in the reference typseset at . Should this be like the symmetry group, also used later in the introduction? CyreJ ( talk) 10:41, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
