Abstract
The evolution of electron wave packets formed from surface states in topological insulators located in an external magnetic field is studied. The electron and spin densities of the wave packets under consideration are calculated analytically and are visualized. The influence of the main characteristics of the wave packets (the spin polarization) on the splitting and the change in their forms with time is considered.
