Diffusion at the surface of topological insulators

We consider the dc transport properties of topological insulator surface states in the presence of uncorrelated point-like disorder, both in the classical and quantum regimes. The dc conductivity of those two-dimensional surface states depends strongly on the amplitude of the hexagonal warping of th...
