AbstractWithin the broad and deep field of topological materials, there are an ever-increasing number of materials that harbor topological phases. While condensed matter physics continues to probe the exotic physical properties resulting from the existence of topological phases in new materials, there exists a suite of “well-known” topological materials in which the physical properties are well-characterized, such as Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3. In this context, it is then appropriate to ask if the unique properties of well-explored topological materials may have a role to play in applications that form the basis of a new paradigm in information processing devices and architectures. To accomplish such a transition from physical novelty to application based material, the potential of topological materials must be disseminated beyond the reach of condensed matter to engender interest in diverse areas such as: electrical engineering, materials science, and applied physics. Accordingly, in this review, we assess the state of current electronic device applications and contemplate the future prospects of topological materials from an applied perspective. More specifically, we will review the application of topological materials to the general areas of electronic and magnetic device technologies with the goal of elucidating the potential utility of well-characterized topological materials in future information processing applications.

Abstract The discovery of topological insulators and superconductors is an important advance in condensed matter physics. Topological phases reflect global properties of the quantum states in materials, and the boundary states are the characteristic of the materials. Such phases constitute a new branch in condensed matter physics. Here a historic development is briefly introduced, and the known family of phases in condensed matter are summarized.

Research Center for Dielectric Study was supported by the Korean Research Foundation from the government. In 1991, Professor Jang, Min-Soo along with 22 other professors, received a research grant of 7 billion won for 10 years, which enabled the Korean Ferroelectric Research Society to be competitive globally. The 9th International Meeting on Ferroelectricity, which is held every four years, was held in Seoul in 1997. The first dielectric joint symposium organized by condensed-matter physics and materials science researchers was held in 2005. The Korean Dielectrics Society was established at Muju resort in 2017, with Professors Tae Won Noh and Jaichan Lee representing the condensed-matter physics and materials science communities, respectively. Currently, more than 300 members are actively participating in the Korean Dielectric Society. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of ferroelectricity, which was fist discovered in Rochelle salt by Joseph Valasek in 1921, we organized a special session in the 2020 Korean Physics Society Fall Meeting.

In condensed matter physics, magnetic skyrmions, topologically stabilized magnetic solitons, have been discovered in various materials systems, which has intrigued the community in terms of not only fundamental physics but also with respect to engineering applications. In particular, skyrmions in thin films are easily manipulable by electrical means even at room temperature. Concomitantly, a variety of possible applications have been proposed and proof-of-concept devices have been demonstrated. Recently, the field of skyrmion-based electronics has been referred to as skyrmionics and this field has been rapidly growing and extended in multiple directions. This review provides recent progress for skyrmion research in thin film systems and we discuss promising new directions, which will further invigorate the field. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, Volume 13 is March 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
