The recent experimental confirmation of a transformation between meron and skyrmion topological spin textures in the chiral magnet Co$_8$Zn$_9$Mn$_3$ [S.-Z. Lin et al., Phys. Rev. B 91, 224407 (2015); X. Z. Yu et al., Nature 564, 95 (2018)]…
Spin textures, i.e., the distribution of spin polarization vectors in reciprocal space, exhibit diverse patterns determined by symmetry constraints, resulting in a variety of spintronic phenomena. Here, we propose a universal theory to…
Spin-orbit coupling effects occurring in non-centrosymmetric materials are known to be responsible for non-trivial spin configurations and a number of emergent physical phenomena. Ferroelectric materials may be especially interesting in…
The interaction between the surface of a 3D topological insulator and a skyrmion / anti-skyrmion structure is studied in order to investigate the possibility of electron confinement due to skyrmion presence. Both hedgehog (N\'eel) and…
The Hamiltonian of a two dimensional (2D) magnetic material in the strong correlation regime with a spin texture, for which both azimuthal and polar angle changes, is solved using $su(2)$ path integral method. The dependence of the Chern…
Topological materials host robust surface states, which could form the basis for future electronic devices. As such states have spins that are locked to the momentum, they are of particular interest for spintronic applications.…
Relativistic spin-orbit coupling plays an essential role in the field of topological insulators and quantum spintronics. It gives rise to the topological non-trivial band structure and enables electric manipulation of the spin degree of…
The large spin orbit coupling in topological insulators results in helical spin-textured Dirac surface states that are attractive for topological spintronics. These states generate an efficient spin-orbit torque on proximal magnetic moments…
Nanowires with helical surface states represent key prerequisites for observing and exploiting phase-coherent topological conductance phenomena, such as spin-momentum locked quantum transport or topological superconductivity. We demonstrate…
The concept of a topological Kondo insulator (TKI) has been brought forward as a new class of topological insulators in which non-trivial surface states reside in the bulk Kondo band gap at low temperature due to the strong spin-orbit…
Chiral magnetic interactions induce complex spin textures including helical and conical spin waves, as well as particle-like objects such as magnetic skyrmions and merons. These spin textures are the basis for innovative device paradigms…
The spin-orbit torques (SOTs) generated from topological insulators (TIs) have gained increasing attention in recent years. These TIs, which are typically formed by epitaxially grown chalcogenides, possess extremely high SOT efficiencies…
Based on the numerical solutions of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations, the spin-textures of a Bose-Einstein condensate with two kinds of spin-1 atoms have been studied. Besides, the probability densities of an atom in spin component…
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…
The energy-momentum relationship of electrons on the surface of an ideal "Hydrogen-Atom" Topological Insulator forms a cone - a Dirac cone, which, when warped and distorted (no longer described by the Dirac equation), can lead to unusual…
Stable three-dimensional topological skyrmion structures in frustrated magnets are investigated. The texture exhibits a helicoid pattern along the vertical direction, described by a position-dependent helicity, which interpolates between…
We predict that a family of antiperovskite materials realize a higher order topological insulator phase, characterized by a previously introduced $\mathbb{Z}_4$ index. A tight binding model and a $k\cdot p$ model are used to capture the…
The surface of topological insulators is proposed as a promising platform for spintronics and quantum information applications. In particular, when time- reversal symmetry is broken, topological surface states are expected to exhibit a wide…
Recent search for optical analogues of topological phenomena mainly focuses on mimicking the key feature of quantum Hall and quantum spin Hall effects (QHE and QSHE): edge currents protected from disorder. QHE relies on time-reversal…
When interacting spins in condensed matter order ferromagnetically, their ground state wave function is topologically trivial. Nonetheless, in two dimensions, the ferromagnetic state can support spin excitations with nontrivial topology, an…
