The 2016 Nobel Price in Physics: Quantum Hall Effect and Topological Insulators
Abstract
Essential topics of two phenomena related with the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics are described: the quantum Hall effect and topological insulators. In particular: i) the importance of topology to explain the stability of the Klitzing constant obtained from the quantum Hall effect; ii) fundamental properties of topological insulators and iii) some aspects of band structure topology that allow us to identify topological insulator candidates.
