Generalized GW+Boltzmann Approach for the Description of Ultrafast Electron Dynamics in Topological Insulators

Quantum-phase transitions between trivial insulators and topological insulators differ from ordinary metal-insulator transitions in that they arise from the inversion of the bulk band structure due to strong spin–orbit coupling. Such topological phase transitions are unique in nature as they lead to...
