Books: Weyl semimetals, Topological Insulators

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking recommendations for textbooks on Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, and the Integer Quantum Hall effect, as well as theoretical condensed matter physics. Participants also engage in a conversation about the organization of the topics into separate threads.

Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for textbooks on Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, and the Integer Quantum Hall effect.
  • Another participant suggests that the topics should be separated into different threads for clarity.
  • Several participants express confusion regarding the specific area of topology being referred to.
  • A participant confirms that they have separated the questions into different threads and invites suggestions on each topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the topics should be separated into different threads, but there is some confusion regarding the specific aspects of topology being discussed.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of clarity on the specific subfields of topology that may be relevant to the discussion, and the organization of the topics into separate threads has not been fully resolved.

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.
