Introduction Topological insulators [41] are new materials observed in nature which behave like insulators in the bulk but have conducting edge or surface states on the boundary. In physical terms, topological insulators are gapped electronic systems which show topologically protected non-trivial phases in the presence of the time reversal Z2- symmetry. Because of the (odd) time reversal symmetry, topological insulators are characterized by a Z2-valued invariant. We will use Z2 to denote the group Z/2Z, 1630003-2 Rev. Math. Phys. 2016.28.

Sulfur Deposition on Carbon Nanofibers using Supercritical CO2 Sulfur Deposition on Carbon Nanofibers using Supercritical CO2. Gamma sulfur also known as mother of pearl sulfur and nacreous sulfur... More Info

CO2 Organic Rankine Cycle Experimenter Platform The supercritical CO2 phase change system is both a heat pump and organic rankine cycle which can be used for those purposes and as a supercritical extractor for advanced subcritical and supercritical extraction technology. Uses include producing nanoparticles, precious metal CO2 extraction, lithium battery recycling, and other applications... More Info
