The magnetic and electronic properties of the magnetically doped topological insulator Bi$_{\rm 2-x}$Mn$_{\rm x}$Te$_3$ were studied using electron spin resonance (ESR) and measurements of static magnetization and electrical transport. The…

Surface states of topological insulators (TIs) have been playing the central role in the majority of outstanding investigations in low-dimensional electron systems for more than 10 years. TIs based on high-quality strained HgTe films…

We report the observation of current-induced spin polarization, the Rashba-Edelstein effect (REE), and its Onsager reciprocal phenomenon, the spin galvanic effect (SGE), in a few-layer graphene/2H-TaS2 heterostructure at room temperature.…

Ultrathin topological insulator membranes are building blocks of exotic quantum matter. However, traditional epitaxy of these materials does not facilitate stacking in arbitrary orders, while mechanical exfoliation from bulk crystals is…

We investigate theoretically the spin torque and magnetization dynamic in a thin ferromagnetic (FM) layer with spatially varying magnetization. The FM layer is deposited on the surface of a topological insulator (TI). In the limit of the…

We have studied the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in the layered ferromagnetic insulators CrSiTe$_3$ and CrGeTe$_3$ covered by Pt films in the measurement configuration where spin current traverses the ferromagnetic Cr layers. The…

Exchange-coupled interfaces are pivotal in exploiting two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetism. Due to the extraordinary correlations among charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom, layered magnetic transition metal chalcogenides…

The inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) is a spin conversion mechanism that recently attracts attention in spintronics and condensed matter physics. In this letter, we report an investigation of the IREE in Bi/Ag by using ferrimagnetic…

We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. The conversion rates are found to be very high, with inverse Edelstein lengths up to 2.0 +/-…

We performed broadband optical transmission measurements of Bi2Se3 and In-doped Bi(1-x)In(x)2Se3 thin films, where in the latter the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength can be tuned by introducing In. Drude and interband transitions exhibit…

This article shows that the spin-to-charge current conversion in single-layer graphene (SLG) by means of the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) is made possible with the integration of this remarkable 2D-material with the unique…

We report mid-infrared spectroscopy measurements of an electrostatically gated topological insulator, in which we observe several percent modulation of transmittance and reflectance of (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 films as gating shifts the Fermi level.…

We report transport studies on the 5 nm thick Bi2Se3 topological insulator films which are grown via molecular beam epitaxy technique. The angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data show that the Fermi level of the system lies in the…

The unique spin texture of quantum states in topological materials underpins many proposed spintronic applications. However, realizations of such great potential are stymied by perturbations, such as temperature and local fields imposed by…

The spin-Seebeck effect refers to voltage signals induced in metals by thermally driven spin currents in adjacent magnetic systems. We present a theory of the spin-Seebeck signal in the case where the conductor that supports the voltage…

The Bi$_2$Se$_3$ class of topological insulators has recently been shown to undergo a superconducting transition upon hole or electron doping (Cu$_x$-Bi$_2$Se$_3$ with T$_C$=3.8$^o$K and Pd$_x$-Bi$_2$Te$_3$ with T$_C$=5$^o$K), raising the…

We present a novel memory device that consists of a thin ferromagnetic layer of Fe deposited on topological insulator thin film, Bi2Se3. The ferromagnetic layer has perpendicular anisotropy, due to MgO deposited on the top surface of Fe.…

We report on infrared (IR) optical experiments on Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Mn-doped Bi$_2$Te$_3$ epitaxial thin films. In the latter film, dilute Mn doping (4.5\%) of the topologically nontrivial semiconductor host results in…

The spin Seebeck effect is useful for probing the spin correlations and magnetic order in magnetic insulators. Here, we report a strong longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in antiferromagnetic V2O3 thin films. The LSSE response at…

One of the most fundamental and exotic properties of 3D topological insulators (TIs) is spin-momentum-locking (SML) of their topological surface states (TSSs), promising for potential applications in future spintronics. However, other…
