<strong>Topological</strong> <strong>Insulators</strong> surface states<br />

‣ strong spin-orbit : momentum-spin locking<br />

➡ real spin in Dirac equation (Zeeman effect, spintronic)<br />

‣ no additional degeneracy : a single cone<br />

‣ 1 cone + real spin : strong constraint by T-symmetry<br />

‣ 2 independant cones<br />

(Nielsen-Ninomyia Theorem)<br />

‣ necessity to include hexagonal warping at high<br />

doping<br />

H W = 2<br />

z(k 3 + + k 3 )<br />

k ± = k x ± ik y<br />

Graphene<br />

‣ pseudo spin (AB) in Dirac<br />

‣ 4-fold degeneracy : valley x spin<br />

‣ T-symmetry relates both cones<br />

also : α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under pressure<br />
