Rashba spin orbit coupling in topological insulators has attracted much interest due to its exotic properties closely related to spintronic devices. The coexistence of nontrivial topology and giant Rashba splitting, however, has rare been…

Combining magnetism and nontrivial band topology gives rise to quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators and exotic quantum phases such as the QAH effect where current flows without dissipation along quantized edge states. Inducing magnetic…

We proposed that the simultaneous presence of both Rashba and band inversion can lead to a Rashba-like spin-splitting formed by two bands with the same in-plane helical spin texture. Because of this unconventional spin texture, the…
