Laser-Based Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy of Topological Insulators

Topological insulators (TI) are a new phase of matter with very exotic electronic properties on their surface. As a direct consequence of the topological order, the surface electrons of TI form bands that cross the Fermi surface odd number of times and are guaranteed to be metallic. They also have a...
