In each case the discussion of simple toy models is followed by the formulation of the general arguments regarding topological insulators.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The only prerequisite for the reader is a working knowledge in quantum mechanics, the relevant solid state physics background is provided as part of this self-containedtext, which is complemented by end-of-chapter problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-02-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319256054\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-25607-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 166\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47359553142924,"sku":"9783319256054","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319256054.jpg?v=1775673390","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319256054","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
