DR. SEMONTI BHATTACHARYYA Monash University All welcome! The seminar flyer can be downloaded clicking on this link Abstract Topological insulators are a new class of materials characterised by linear gapless surface states, which emerge in the bulk band gap due to non-trivial topology of the band structure. These boundary states are a lucrative candidate for Read More
