S. M. Farzaneh, Shaloo Rakheja

摘要:

研究了典型拓扑绝缘体Sb $_2$ Se $_3$,Sb $_2$ Te $_3$,Bi $_2$ Se $_3$,和块体形式的Bi $_2$ Te $_3$,在最大定域Wannier基下,利用密度泛函理论和线性响应理论,从第一性原理计算了结果表明,在费米能级附近,存在一个100- 200($\hbar$ /2 e)(S/cm)的有限自旋霍尔电导率。虽然所得值比重金属小一个数量级,但由于其相对较低的纵向电导率,它们显示出相当的自旋霍尔角。自旋霍尔角为不同的化合物,然后比较最近的实验拓扑绝缘体/铁磁体异质结构。的比较表明,在产生自旋电流,从而在磁化切换应用中的自旋扭矩的散装的作用是可比的表面,包括自旋动量锁定的表面状态和Rashba-Edelstein效应在界面处。

英文摘要:

The intrinsic spin Hall conductivity of typical topological insulators Sb$_2$Se$_3$, Sb$_2$Te$_3$, Bi$_2$Se$_3$, and Bi$_2$Te$_3$ in the bulk form, is calculated from first-principles by using density functional theory and the linear response theory in a maximally localized Wannier basis. The results show that there is a finite spin Hall conductivity of 100--200 ($\hbar$/2e)(S/cm) in the vicinity of the Fermi energy. Although the resulting values are an order of magnitude smaller than that of heavy metals, they show a comparable spin Hall angle due to their relatively lower longitudinal conductivity. The spin Hall angle for different compounds are then compared to that of recent experiments on topological-insulator/ferromagnet heterostructures. The comparison suggests that the role of the bulk in generating a spin current and consequently a spin torque in magnetization switching applications is comparable to that of the surface including the spin-momentum locked surface states and the Rashba-Edelstein effect at the interface.
