We consider a disordered topological insulator thin film placed on the top of a ferromagnetic insulator with a perpendicular exchange field $M$ and subjected to a perpendicular electric field. The presence of ferromagnetic insulator causes…
Quantitative understanding of the relationship between quantum tunneling and Fermi surface spin polarization is key to device design using topological insulator surface states. By using spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with…
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…
Topological insulator (TI) thin films differ from the more commonly studied semi-infinite bulk TIs in that the former possesses both top and bottom surfaces where the surface states localized at different surfaces can couple to one another…
The broken inversion symmetry at the surface of a metallic film (or, more generally, at the interface between a metallic film and a different metallic or insulating material) greatly amplifies the influence of the spin-orbit interaction on…
We study spin conductivity of the surface states in a thin film of a topological insulator with Kubo formulas. Hybridization between the different sides of the film opens a gap at the Dirac point. We found that in the gapped region spin…
In this paper, current-induced spin polarization for two-dimensional electron gas with a general spin-orbit interaction is investigated. For isotropic energy spectrum, the in-plane current-induced spin polarization is found to be dependent…
Understanding the spin-texture behavior of boundary modes in ultrathin topological insulator films is critically essential for the design and fabrication of functional nano-devices. Here by using spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy…
We report electrical measurements of the current-induced spin polarization of the surface current in topological insulator devices where contributions from bulk and surface conduction can be disen- tangled by electrical gating. The devices…
We study the spin conductivity of the bulk states of three-dimensional topological insulators within Kubo formalism. Spin Hall effect is the generation of the spin current that is perpendicular to the applied voltage. In the case of a…
Topological insulators (TI) are highly attractive platforms for next-generation optoelectronic and photonic devices. Spin-momentum locking of topological surface states enhance their nonlinear optical responses and sensitivities, especially…
The charge-current-induced spin polarization is a key property of topological insulators for their applications in spintronics. However, topological surface states are expected to give rise to only one type of spin polarization for a given…
The Kondo insulator compound SmB6 has emerged as a strong candidate for the realization of a topologically nontrivial state in a strongly correlated system, a topological Kondo insulator, which can be a novel platform for investigating the…
Spin-polarized electrical transport is investigated in $ Al_{2}O_{3}/Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/Al_{2}O_{3}$ thin films for permalloy thickness between 6 and 20nm. The degree of spin-polarization of the current flowing in the plane of the film is…
A mechanism is proposed based on the Kubo formula to generate a spin-polarized magneto-optical current of Dirac electrons in solids which have strong spin-orbit interactions such as bismuth. The ac current response functions are calculated…
Topological insulators have surface states with a remarkable helical spin structure, with promising prospects for applications in spintronics. Strategies for generating spin polarized currents, such as the use of magnetic contacts and…
In this work we study the spin accumulation due to an in-plane electric field in an asymmetric topological insulator (TI) thin film system with an out of plane magnetic field and an in-plane magnetization. A TI thin film differs from the…
We propose a hole-induced mechanism of spin-polarized current generation by circularly polarized synchrotron radiation and corresponding induced magnetization in magnetically-doped topological insulators…
Noninteracting electrons confined to a corrugated surface are investigated in magnetic field, and the associated effective Pauli equation is given analytically by the thin-layer quantization scheme. Interestingly, the Zeeman splitting gaps…
In this paper we study the current-induced spin polarization in a two-dimensional electron gas, known also as the Edelstein effect. Compared to previous treatments, we consider both the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction as well…
