Abstract
The paper reviews studies of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Rzhanov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. Two research directions are discussed: transport properties of two-dimensional excitonic systems and electron transport in two-dimensional topological insulators. Particular attention is given to excitonic systems in the mode of Bose–Einstein condensate and to the theory of conductivity of two-dimensional topogical insulator with a thickness close to the critical one caused by developed network of edge states permeating the sample.
