We found, through extensive study of micro reflectance difference spectroscopy images of Bi2Te3 topological insulator surface, the first clear experimental evidence that there is non-uniform spatial distribution of spin polarization (spin…

We investigate the band dispersion and the spin texture of topologically protected surface states in the bulk topological insulators Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 by first-principles methods. Strong spin-orbit entanglement in these materials reduces…

The theoretical prediction of topological insulators in 2007 triggered tremendous interest. They are of fundamental interest because of their topological twist in k-space, which comes along with unidirectional, spin-polarized surface-state…

Several recent experiments on three-dimensional topological insulators claim to observe a large charge current-induced non-equilibrium ensemble spin polarization of electrons in the helical surface state. We present a comprehensive…

The Letter is analyzing bulk spin (moment) currents and spin (moment) accumulation at edges of a 2D topological insulator taking into account reflection from edges. Accumulation occurs only at edge states, which distinguish topological…

We theoretically study spin and charge transport induced by a twisted light beam irradiated on a disordered surface of a doped three dimensional topological insulator (TI). We find that various types of spin vortices are imprinted on the…

Three dimensional (3D) topological insulators are novel states of quantum matter that feature spin-momentum locked helical Dirac fermions on their surfaces and hold promise to open new vistas in spintronics, quantum computing and…

Topological insulators are insulating bulk materials hosting conducting surface states. Their magnetic doping breaks time-reversal symmetry and generates numerous interesting effects such as dissipationless transport. Nonetheless, their…

Solitons formed through the one-dimensional mass-kink mechanism on the edges of two-dimensional systems with non-trivial topology play an important role in the emergence of higher-order (HO) topological phases. In this connection, the…

Using a macroscopic approach, we studied theoretically the heat generation due to spin transport in a typical spin valve with nonmagnetic spacer layer of finite thickness. Our analysis shows that the spin-dependent heat generation can also…

Topological insulators in three dimensions are nonmagnetic insulators that possess metallic surface states as a consequence of the nontrivial topology of electronic wavefunctions in the bulk of the material. They are the first known…

When a charge current is injected into the surface state of a topological insulator (TI), the resulting shift of the spin-momentum-locked Fermi surface leads to the appearance of a net spin polarization. The helical spin structure of the…

When charge current passes through a normal metal that exhibits spin Hall effect, spin accumulates at the edge of the sample in the transverse direction. We predict that this spin accumulation, or spin voltage, enables quantum tunneling of…

When topological insulators possess rotational symmetry their spin lifetime is tied to the scattering time. We show that in anisotropic TIs this tie can be broken and the spin lifetime can be very large. Two different mechanisms can obtain…

We study theoretically helical edge states of 2D and 3D topological insulators (TI) tunnel-coupled to metal leads and show that their transport properties are strongly affected by contacts as the latter play a role of a heat bath and induce…

We developed a quantum field theoretical description for the surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators. Within the relativistic quantum field theory formulation, we investigated the dynamics of low-lying surface states in…

Coupling of the spin and orbital degrees of freedom on the surface of a strong three-dimensional insulator, on the one hand, and textured magnetic configuration in an adjacent ferromagnetic film, on the other, is studied using a combination…

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…

Topological insulators host topology-linked boundary states, whose spin and charge degrees of freedom could be exploited to design topological devices with enhanced functionality. We experimentally observe that dissipationless chiral edge…

We study a junction of a topological insulator with a thin two-dimensional (2D) non-magnetic or partially polarized ferromagnetic metallic film deposited on a 3D insulator. We show that such a junction leads to a finite spin current…
