Topological matter physics

an insulator whose electromagnetic response contains a quantized theta term, giving a magnetoelectric effect tied to time-reversal topology.

In topological matter physics, axion insulator refers to an insulator whose electromagnetic response contains a quantized theta term, giving a magnetoelectric effect tied to time-reversal topology. This meaning comes from Qi (2008) in Physical Review B.[1]
