电阻开关揭示磁拓扑绝缘体中的铰链自旋极化

Hinge Spin Polarization in Magnetic Topological Insulators Revealed by Resistance Switch

Pablo M. Perez-Piskunow, Stephan Roche

摘要:

我们报告的可能性检测铰链自旋极化磁性拓扑绝缘体的电阻测量。通过将磁性拓扑绝缘体的三维模型转化为在顶面附近具有铁磁接触的多端器件,揭示了手征边缘模的局部自旋特征。我们发现当地的自旋极化的铰链,反转之间的顶部和底部表面的符号。在相反的边缘,具有反转自旋极化的拓扑状态在相反的方向上传播。利用自旋极化铰链和铁磁接触之间的匹配,实现了正向和反向传输态之间的大电阻开关。该特征对于铁磁、反铁磁和倾斜反铁磁相是通用的,并且能够设计自旋敏感器件,并且有可能逆转电流的铰链自旋极化。

英文摘要:

We report on the possibility to detect hinge spin polarization in magnetic topological insulators by resistance measurements. By implementing a three-dimensional model of magnetic topological insulators into a multi-terminal device with ferromagnetic contacts near the top surface, local spin features of the chiral edge modes are unveiled. We find local spin polarization at the hinges that inverts sign between top and bottom surfaces. At the opposite edge, the topological state with inverted spin polarization propagates in the reverse direction. Large resistance switch between forward and backward propagating states is obtained, driven by the matching between the spin polarized hinges and the ferromagnetic contacts. This feature is general to the ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and canted-antiferromagnetic phases, and enables the design of spin-sensitive devices, with the possibility of reversing the hinge spin polarization of the currents.
