SUMMARY:Topological insulators: from spin-orbit coupling to supersymmetry-o
 n-a-chip – Joseph Maciejko\, UofA
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Maciejko\, Department of Physics\, University of Alber
 ta\, Edmonton\, AB T6G 2E1 Canada.
\nTopological insulators are an unusua
 l class of insulators whose surfaces can carry electric currents while the
 ir bulk cannot. This surface conduction proceeds with little or no dissipa
 tion of heat\, which makes topological insulators promising materials for 
 low-power electronics. Intriguing phenomena also occur when a topological 
 insulator is interfaced with a different material such as a ferromagnet or
  a superconductor. In this talk I will explain the basic physical principl
 es underlying topological insulators\, and argue that these materials are 
 a potential platform for observing exotic effects predicted in elementary 
 particle physics such as Majorana fermions\, axions\, and supersymmetry.
