Abstract

In this review, we discuss recent progress in the explorations of topological materials beyond topological insulators; specifically, we focus on topological crystalline insulators and bulk topological superconductors. The basic concepts, model Hamiltonians, and novel electronic properties of these new topological materials are explained. The key role of the symmetries that underlie their topological properties is elucidated. Key issues in their materials realizations are also discussed.
