Books: Weyl semimetals, Topological Insulators

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on sourcing textbooks for Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, and the Integer Quantum Hall effect. Participants emphasize the importance of separating these topics into distinct threads for clarity. The conversation also touches on theoretical condensed matter physics, indicating a need for comprehensive resources in this area. Overall, the discussion highlights the necessity of organized inquiries in advanced physics topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Weyl semimetals and their properties
  • Familiarity with topological insulators and their applications
  • Knowledge of the Integer Quantum Hall effect
  • Basic concepts in theoretical condensed matter physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research textbooks on Weyl semimetals, such as "Weyl Semimetals" by A. A. Burkov
  • Explore resources on topological insulators, including "Topological Insulators: A New Concept in Quantum Matter" by B. Andrei Bernevig
  • Investigate the Integer Quantum Hall effect through "The Quantum Hall Effect" by D. J. Thouless
  • Study theoretical condensed matter physics with "Condensed Matter Physics" by Michael P. Marder
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, graduate students, and researchers interested in condensed matter physics, particularly those focusing on Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, and quantum phenomena.

Hello!
What are some good sources(preferably textbooks) to learn about Weyl semimetals?
I also want some sources to learn about topological insulators and anything containing the Integer Quantum Hall effect would be great.
As an aside, if you have any good book on theoretical condensed matter physics I would also appreciate it!
Thanks in advance.

Are you not asking books on some separate topics together? I think it will be better if you differentiate each topic into a separate thread. For example, topology and Weyl semimetalls can make two different threads.

Sure. Will do so shortly. Thanks!

topology

On which topic in topology ? Differential/Set-point/Algebraic.

Seriously I have no idea on topology (if that question was directed towards me o_O). I just asked OP to separate out the topics.

I have separated the questions!
If you have any suggestion on any of them, feel welcome to share it.
Thank you!

Great :smile:

I'll now call upon the mentors to lock this thread as each question has been separated.
