The propagation of electrons and photons can respectively have the spin-momentum locking effect which correlates the spin with the linear momentum. For the surface electrons in three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs), their spin is…

We propose a spintronic device to generate spin polarization in a mesoscopic region by purely electric means. We show that the spin Hall effect in combination with the stirring effect are sufficient to induce measurable spin polarization in…

Using circularly polarized light is an alternative to electronic ways for spin injection into materials. Spins are injected at a point of the light illumination, and then diffuse and spread radially due to the in-plane gradient of the spin…

We report on the enhancement of the spin coherence time (T2) by almost an order-of-magnitude in exciton-polariton condensates through driven spin precession resonance. Using a rotating optical trap formed by a bichromatic laser excitation,…

Gapless surface states on topological insulators are protected from elastic scattering on non-magnetic impurities which makes them promising candidates for low-power electronic applications. However, for wide-spread applications, these…

Three-dimensional topological insulators are a class of Dirac materials, wherein strong spin-orbit coupling leads to two-dimensional surface states. The latter feature spin-momentum locking, i.e., each momentum vector is associated with a…

Motivated by recent experiments on spin pumping from a ferromagnet into organic materials in which the charge transport is due to hopping, we study theoretically the generation and propagation of spin current in a hopping insulator. Unlike…

A P-N junction engineered within a Dirac cone system acts as a gate tunable angular filter based on Klein tunneling. For a 3D topological insulator with substantial bandgap, such a filter can produce a charge-to-spin conversion due to the…
