Theory of spin and orbital charge conversion at the surface states of Bi_{1−x}Sb_{x} topological insulator

Physical Review Research
Topological insulators are quantum materials involving time-reversal protected surface states making them appealing candidates for the design of the next generation of highly efficient spintronic devices.

Unidirectional Maxwellian spin waves

Nanophotonics, 2019
In this article, we develop a unified perspective of unidirectional topological edge waves in nonreciprocal media. We focus on the inherent role of photonic spin in nonreciprocal gyroelectric media, i.e. magnetized metals or magnetized insulators. Due to

Spectroscopic Evidence of Edge‐Localized States in an Antiferromagnet Topological Insulator NdBi

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using spin‐polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in conjunction with quasiparticle interference, we successfully identify distinct signatures of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic terminations in NdBi, a rare‐earth monopnictide exhibiting non‐trivial topology and magnetism. We demonstrate that step edges on ferromagnetic surfaces host well‐

Topological spin–valley filtering effects based on hybrid silicene-like nanoribbons

New Journal of Physics, 2020
Topological edge states have crucial applications in nano spintronics and valleytronics devices, while topological inner-edge states have seldom been extensively researched in this field.

Emerging of Anomalous Higher‐Order Topological Phases in Altermagnet/Topological Insulator Heterostructure by Floquet Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We combine altermagnet with topological insulators and subject the structure to Floquet driving. This breaks time‐reversal symmetry and creates a new type of higher‐order topological insulator. Its key feature is the emergence of programmable “0/π‐corner modes” that can be controlled by magnetic field direction, offering a novel dynamic platform for ...

Dirac Surface‐State Driven Broad Spectral Band Low Quantum Energy Photoresponse in Quaternary Topological BiSbSe2Te

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Quaternary topological BiSbSe2Te are synthesized and demonstrates a broad spectral band photoresponse, ranging from infrared to terahertz and to millimeter waves, with a particular excellence on detection of low quantum energy terahertz photons. The observed photoresponse is attributed to the excitation of plasmonic nonequilibrium electrons originating

Stretchable Persistent Spin Helices in GaAs Quantum Wells

Physical Review X, 2017
The Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit (SO) interactions in 2D electron gases act as effective magnetic fields with momentum-dependent directions, which cause spin decay as the spins undergo arbitrary precessions about these randomly oriented SO fields ...

Spin‐Selective Interface Engineering in Oxide–Ferromagnetic Junctions via Atomic‐Scale Oxygen Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that interfacial oxygen at the MgO/Fe interface can be transformed from an uncontrolled variable into a tunable design parameter for spintronic junctions. Momentum microscopy provides direct access to the momentum‐ and spin‐resolved electronic structure beneath the insulating MgO layers, revealing how oxygen intercalation reshapes buried Fe ...

Electric‐Field Control of Terahertz Response via Spin‐Corner‐Layer Coupling in Altermagnetic Bilayers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A spin‐corner‐layer coupling mechanism is proposed in 2D altermagnetic bilayers. Exemplified by NiZrI6, the spin, layer, and topological corner states are simultaneously controlled by an ultralow electric field, enabling active modulation of terahertz absorption, emission, and polarization.
