Spin current generator based on topological insulator coupled to ferromagnetic insulators

AIP Advances, 2012
We propose a spin current generator based on a topological insulator current-in-plane spin valve, consisting of a 3D topological insulator sandwiched between two ferromagnetic insulator layers. The “on” and “off” states of the spin current can be toggled

Cloaking magnetic field and generating electric field with topological insulator and superconductor bi-layer sphere

AIP Advances, 2017
When an electric field is applied on a topological insulator, not only the electric field is generated, but also the magnetic field is generated, vice versa.

Topological insulator properties of photonic kagome helical waveguide arrays

Results in Physics, 2019
We investigate topological insulator properties of the kagome helical waveguide array, by utilizing theoretical and numerical means. The time-reversal symmetry of the kagome lattice is broken by helicity, and a photonic topological insulator is formed ...

Acoustic Realization of a Four-Dimensional Higher-Order Chern Insulator and Boundary-Modes Engineering

Physical Review X, 2021
We present a theoretical study and experimental realization of a system that is simultaneously a four-dimensional (4D) Chern insulator and a higher-order topological insulator.

Weak topological insulator with protected gapless helical states [PDF]

, 2011
A workable model for describing dislocation lines introduced into a three-dimensional topological insulator is proposed. We show how fragile surface Dirac cones of a weak topological insulator evolve into protected gapless helical modes confined to the ...
