This book is an in-depth presentation of fundamental theoretical concepts on electronic and transport properties of topological insulators. It offers a meaningful analytical description of key model Hamiltonians, which allows a detailed illustration and understanding of foundational knowledge such as spin-momentum locking, topological invariants, symmetry aspects related to spin-orbit coupling, and antilocalization phenomena. It also covers the fascinating mechanisms underlying the exploration of unconventional superconductivity and Majorana Fermions in topological insulators. It will certainly become a standard reference for beginners and experienced researchers. - Prof. Stephan Roche, Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Spain This book is a great teacher for graduates who wish to devote themselves to the field. The well-designed problem sets provide a unique opportunity to digest many key results, while the exhaustive bibliography serves as a guide to various ongoing studies in the field. - Prof. Chushun Tian, Tsinghua University, China
