DS 27: Symposium Topological Insulators: Status Quo and Future Directions
(Joint symposium of DS, HL, MA, O and TT, organized by TT)

DS 27.1: Invited Talk

Wednesday, March 9, 2016, 09:30–10:00, H1

Topological insulators and topological superconductors — •Shoucheng Zhang — Dept of Physics, Stanford University

In this talk, I will first give a brief overview on topological insulators and superconductors. I will then discuss the recent theoretical prediction and the experimental observation of the quantum anomalous Hall effect in magnetic topological insulators. I shall present a newly predicted material called stanene, and discuss its potential applications.
