1. Colloquium : Topological insulatorsReviews of Modern Physics · 2010 · 19,984 citations

   Topological insulators are electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states are possible due to the combination of spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry. The…

2. Quantum Spin Hall Effect in GraphenePhysical Review Letters · 2005 · 8,186 citations

   We study the effects of spin orbit interactions on the low energy electronic structure of a single plane of graphene. We find that in an experimentally accessible low temperature regime the symmetry allowed spin orbit potential converts graphene from an…

3. Z 2 Topological Order and the Quantum Spin Hall EffectPhysical Review Letters · 2005 · 6,299 citations

   The quantum spin Hall (QSH) phase is a time reversal invariant electronic state with a bulk electronic band gap that supports the transport of charge and spin in gapless edge states. We show that this phase is associated with a…
