Popis:	We review the contributions of surface science methods to discover and improve 3D topological insulator materials, while illustrating with examples from our own work. In particular, we demonstrate that spin-polarized angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is instrumental to evidence the spin-helical surface Dirac cone, to tune its Dirac point energy towards the Fermi level, and to discover novel types of topological insulators such as dual ones or switchable ones in phase change materials. Moreover, we introduce procedures to spatially map potential fluctuations by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and to identify topological edge states in weak topological insulators.
