The information carrier of modern technologies is the electron charge whose transport inevitably generates Joule heating. Spin-waves, the collective precessional motion of electron spins, do not involve moving charges and thus avoid Joule…

Strong spin-orbit coupling, resulting in the formation of spin-momentum-locked surface states, endows topological insulators with superior spin-to-charge conversion characteristics, though the dynamics that govern it have remained elusive.…

We present detailed data on the unusual angular-dependent magnetoresistance oscillation phenomenon recently discovered in a topological insulator Bi_{0.91}Sb_{0.09}. Direct comparison of the data taken before and after etching the sample…

We predict that the magnetization direction of a ferromagnet can be reversed by the spin-transfer torque accompanying spin-polarized thermoelectric heat currents. We illustrate the concept by applying a finite-element theory of…

Using a two-dimensional square lattice Heisenberg model with a Rashba-type Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, we demonstrate that chiral spin fluctuations can give rise to a thermal Hall effect in the absence of any static spin texture or…

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 investigate spin transport in two dimensional ferromagnetic (FTI) and antiferromagnetic (AFTI) topological insulators. In presence of an in plane magnetization AFTI supports zero energy modes, which enables topologically protected edge…

Topological Kondo insulators are a new class of topological insulators in which metallic surface states protected by topological invariants reside in the bulk band gap at low temperatures. Unlike other three-dimensional topological…

We present a theoretical study of the nonlinear magneto-optical shift conductivity in the surface states of the prototypical topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ under a perpendicular quantizing magnetic field. By describing the electronic…

An electric current flowing in a ferromagnetic metal carries spin angular momentum, i.e. it is spin-polarized. Here, we measure the spin-wave Doppler shift induced by the transfer of angular momentum from the diffusive spin-polarized…

In this article we extend the currently established diffusion theory of spin-dependent electrical conduction by including spin-dependent thermoelectricity and thermal transport. Using this theory, we propose new experiments aimed at…

Higher-order topological insulators harbor unique corner modes that hold immense potential for applications in information storage. However, the practical manipulation of these states has been constrained by the fixed positions and energies…

One of the defining properties of the conventional three-dimensional ("$\mathbb{Z}_2$-", or "spin-orbit"-) topological insulator is its characteristic magnetoelectric effect, as described by axion electrodynamics. In this paper, we discuss…

Topological insulator (TI) surface states exert strong spin-orbit torques. When the magnetization is in the plane its interaction with the TI conduction electrons is non-trivial, and is influenced by extrinsic spin-orbit scattering. This is…

Magnetic devices are a leading contender for implementing memory and logic technologies that are nonvolatile, that can scale to high density and high speed, and that do not suffer wear-out. However, widespread applications of magnetic…

Since the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect the use of the intrinsic angular momentum of the electrons has opened up new spin based device concepts. The two channel model of spin-up and spin-down electrons with…

The axion insulator exhibits a topological magnetoelectric effect characterized by an axion angle $\theta=\pi$, while the time-reversal-doubled axion insulator (T-DAXI) can be viewed as two copies of an axion insulator related by…

Motivated by the discovery of the quantum anomalous Hall effect in Cr-doped \ce{(Bi,Sb)2Te3} thin films, we study the generic states for magnetic topological insulators and explore the physical properties for both magnetism and itinerant…

Following the recent proposal by Weeks et al., which suggested that indium (or thallium) adatoms deposited on the surface of graphene should turn the latter into a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator characterized by a sizeable gap, we…

Spin-transfer torque is one of the important physical quantities to understand for successful application of topological insulators to spintronics. In this paper, we present analytical expressions of the spin-transfer torques on a surface…
