The 10 pages that link to Topological insulator, each with the reason it gives.

• Dirac equationRelated: Some surface states are modeled by Dirac-like Hamiltonians.

• Band structureRelated: It shows that band structure encodes topology as well as energy and conductivity.

• Molecular beam epitaxyRelated: MBE is used to grow thin films for studying and tuning topological surface states.

• Electronic band structureBroader topic: Its topology contains information beyond the energies and shapes of ordinary bands.

• Time-reversal symmetryBroader topic: Its boundary states can persist because nonmagnetic perturbations preserve the symmetry.

• Topological orderCompared with: Its protected edge states arise from band topology, not necessarily from intrinsic topological order.

• Kramers' theoremRelated: Time-reversal symmetry protects pairs of boundary states in many such materials.

• Duncan HaldaneRelated: Haldane’s models helped establish how topological band structure can produce robust boundary states.

• Band structure methodsBroader topic: Band calculations identify the inversions and topological indices associated with these boundary states.

• Valence and conduction bandsBroader topic: Its boundary states depend on global properties of the occupied bands.
