Overview
- Selected as best Materials Science PhD Thesis by the University of Rome - Sapienza
- Reports the occurrence of two dimensional surface plasmons attributed to massless Dirac fermions at the insulator surface
- Provides a comparison, obtained through FTIR spectroscopy, of the optical conductivity of Bi-based thin films and single crystals
- Includes a comprehensive review of the fascinating properties of topological insulators with a particular emphasis on their optical behavior
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
