S. I. Vedeneev

Lebedev Physical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow

Abstract: The basic concepts behind topological insulators are briefly reviewed. After discussing what makes some insulators topological and giving a brief history of this rapidly growing field, recent successes in experiments with these exotic materials are discussed.

Keywords: topological insulator, Dirac fermions, surface state, quantum oscillations.
