Is there an easy review about topological insulator?

[MK Kim]

Hello.

Is there a review paper about topological insulator which is written for non-physics major people?

If it will be helpful, I know classical physics, basics about band theory and little bit of modern physics, and have just finished learning quantum mechanics (with a book written by Griffiths),
but I am not that familiar with modern physics.
If there is a review about topological insulator which is suitable to me, could you recommend?

Thank you.

Sure! There is a nice basic review article by some of the people who first came up with the idea of topological insulators. I read it back when I was in undergrad and when I had a similar background as you, and I remember liking it back then:

In case you cannot access that with your internet, here is the free version: http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.3895
