Abstract

Topological insulator is a material with an insulating bulk and conductive surface states. The topological surface state is characterized by a unique coupling between electron spin and momentum, namely spin-momentum locking. To begin with the thesis, we introduce the theoretical background and experimental discovery of topological insulators in the historical order. We then explain emergent physical properties resulting from the interplay between spin-momentum locking, magnetism, and superconductivity, such as quantum anomalous Hall effect.
