Topological and magnetic phase transition in silicene-like zigzag nanoribbons
Spin–orbital interactions (SOI) in silicene results in the quantum-spin-Hall effect, while the Hubbard-induced Coulomb interaction in zigzag nanoribbons often generates a band gap with the anti-ferromagnetic (AF) spin orders on two edges.

Valley-dependent odd quantum Hall states induced by side potential in graphene
The valley degree of freedom endows graphene with many novel physical properties. In this paper, we propose a new method to construct valley-related quantum Hall states using side potentials.

The Quantum Spin Hall Effect: Theory and Experiment [PDF]
The search for topologically non-trivial states of matter has become an important goal for condensed matter physics. Recently, a new class of topological insulators has been proposed. These topological insulators have an insulating gap in the bulk, but have topologically protected edge states due to the time reversal symmetry.

An edge index for the quantum spin-Hall effect [PDF]
Quantum Spin-Hall systems are topological insulators displaying dissipationless spin currents flowing at the edges of the samples. In contradistinction to the Quantum Hall systems where the charge conductance of the edge modes is quantized, the spin conductance is not and it remained an open problem to find the observable whose edge current is ...

Spin field-effect transistor in a quantum spin-Hall device [PDF]
We discuss the transport properties of a quantum spin-Hall insulator with sizable Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a disk geometry. The presence of topologically protected helical edge states allows for the control and manipulation of spin polarized currents: when ferromagnetic leads are coupled to the quantum spin-Hall device, the ballistic conductance ...

Quasi-spin-charge separation and the spin quantum Hall effect [PDF]
We use quantum field theory methods to study the network model for the spin quantum hall transition. When the couplings are fine tuned in a certain way, the spin and charge degrees of freedom, corresponding to the supercurrent algebras su(2) and osp(2|2) respectively, decouple in the renormalization group flow.

Quantum Spin-Hall Effect in a Quantum Wire [PDF]
In this paper, we show that spatially displaced helical states that transport electrons with opposite spins in opposite directions are formed in a harmonic quantum wire due to the spin–orbit (SO) coupling induced by lateral confinement. These states give rise to a transverse spin imbalance in response to the longitudinal charge current as well as a ...
