24. The influence of nonmagnetic matter on electromagnetic waves is completely captured by its frequency-dependent conductivity tensor. At frequencies well below the TI gap an external magnetic field has a negligible influence on the bulk conductivity. When carriers are present in the bulk due to unintended doping, magnetic field dependence is still expected to be weak when disorder is strong.

32. This form for the electromagnetic Lagrangian captures matter effects only in the adiabatic dissipationless limit.
33. In addition, the coupling α ME is equivalent to the magnetoelectric susceptibility χ ME only for TI geometries with one simply connected surface when χ ME = 2 ν surface α such as a sphere or semi-infinite slab, but not for thin film.
