Abstract
Topological insulators are a conceptually new class of materials that possesses robust surface or edge electronic states with various unusual physical properties. Such states are characterized by topological invariants in terms of the bulk electronic states. In this chapter, we describe the fundamental properties of three-dimensional topological insulators. From the theoretical aspect, we review the exotic electromagnetic responses originating from the surface electronic states described by two-dimensional Dirac fermions or from an exotic magnetoelectric property of the topologically nontrivial bulk states. Also, we review the recent experimental developments in three-dimensional topological insulator materials research.
