Please try to give a very simple note on topological insulator which may bear information related to the theory, band-gap structure and most importantly application/use etc. of topological insulator.
This Physics world article by C. Kane and J. Moore explains in very simple terms what is topological insulator. http://www.physics.upenn.edu/~kane/pubs/p69.pdf
The following review articles are also good introduction (not too technical though) to TIs:
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v464/n7286/pdf/nature08916.pdf
http://scitation.aip.org/getpdf/servlet/GetPDFServlet?filetype=pdf&id=PHTOAD000063000001000033000001&idtype=cvips&doi=10.1063/1.3293411&prog=normal

Wow!! The above two pdf files are really helpful, exactly what I needed. Thank you so much...
For crystal structure and chemistry of topological insulator see the recent article of R.J. Cava et al. in arXiv of cond-mat.
