An interface electron state at the junction between a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) film of Bi2Se3 and a ferrimagnetic insulator film of Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) was investigated by measurements of angle-resolved photoelectron…
The breaking of time-reversal symmetry by ferromagnetism is predicted to yield profound changes to the electronic surface states of a topological insulator. Here, we report on a concerted set of structural, magnetic, electrical and…
We address the electronic structure of the surface states of topological insulator thin films with embedded local non-magnetic and magnetic impurities. Using the $T$-matrix expansion of the real space Green's function, we derive the local…
A new method for analysing magnetization dynamics in spin textures under the influence of fast electron injection from topological ferromagnetic sources such as Dirac half metals has been proposed. These electrons, traveling at a velocity…
We study the transport properties of the Dirac fermions with Fermi velocity $v_F$ on the surface of a topological insulator across a ferromagnetic strip providing an exchange field ${\mathcal J}$ over a region of width $d$. We show that the…
Topological materials have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical attention. They exhibit strong spin-orbit coupling both in the band structure (intrinsic) and in the impurity potentials (extrinsic), although the latter is…
We show that local injection of pure spin current into an electrically disconnected ferromagnetic - normal-metal sandwich induces electric currents, that run along closed loops inside the device, and are powered by the source of the spin…
We envision that quantum spin Hall effect should be observed in $(111)$-oriented thin films of SnSe and SnTe topological crystalline insulators. Using a tight-binding approach supported by first-principles calculations of the band…
We theoretically investigate the effective exchange interaction, $J_\mathrm{eff}$, mediated by conductive electrons within a nonmagnetic metal spacer, in the presence of a bias voltage, sandwiched by two ferromagnetic insulators. On the…
3D topological insulators are a new state of quantum matter which exhibits both a bulk band structure with an insulating energy gap as well as metallic spin-polarized Dirac fermion states when interfaced with a topologically trivial…
A magnetic domain boundary on the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator is predicted to host a chiral edge state, but direct demonstration is challenging. Here, we used a scanning superconducting quantum interference device…
The surface of a topological insulator hosts a very special form of a quasi-two dimensional metallic system when it is embedded in a topologically trivial medium like the vacuum. The electronic properties of this unusual 2D metal are…
We formulate a theory of current-induced spin torques in inhomogeneous III-V ferromagnetic semiconductors. The carrier spin-3/2 and large spin-orbit interaction, leading to spin non-conservation, introduce significant conceptual differences…
A vanadium dioxide VO2 film shows metal-insulator transition (MIT) induced by changing environmental temperature. We report the temperature dependence of electromotive force properties generated in VO2/Ni80Fe20 bilayer junctions under the…
The surface of a 3D topological insulator is conducting and the topologically nontrivial nature of the surface states is observed in experiments. It is the aim of this paper to review and analyze experimental observations with respect to…
We investigate electronic thermal rectification in ferromagnetic insulator-based superconducting tunnel junctions. Ferromagnetic insulators coupled to superconductors are known to induce sizable spin splitting in the superconducting density…
We propose a device in which the spin-polarized AC plasmon mode in the surface state of a topological insulator nanostructure induces a static spin accumulation in a resonant, normal metal structure coupled to it. Using a finite-difference…
Two-dimensional topological insulators possess two counter propagating edge channels with op- posite spin direction. Recent experimental progress allowed to create ferromagnetic topological insulators realizing a quantum anomalous Hall…
Efficient injection of spin-polarized current into a semiconductor is a basic prerequisite for building semiconductor-based spintronic devices. Here, we use inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy to show that the efficiency of…
In this paper we predict that the magnetoelectric response of two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnets is determined by the topology of the ground state. This topological magnetoelectric response, encoded in the spin magnetoelectric…
