Fermi-level pinning, charge transfer, and relaxation of spin-momentum locking at metal contacts to topological insulators

Journal Article Spataru, Catalin D. ; Léonard, François - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Topological insulators are of interest for many applications in electronics and optoelectronics, but harnessing their unique properties requires detailed understanding and control of charge injection at electrical contacts. Here we present large-scale ab initio calculations of the electronic properties of Au, Ni, Pt, Pd, and graphene contacts to Bi₂Se₃. We show that regardless of the metal, the Fermi level is located in the conduction band, leading to n-type Ohmic contact to the first quintuplet. Furthermore, we find strong charge transfer and band-bending in the first few quintuplets, with no Schottky barrier for charge injection even when the topoplogical insulator ismore »« less

Spin injection and inverse Edelstein effect in the surface states of topological Kondo insulator SmB₆

Journal Article Song, Qi ; Mi, Jian ; Zhao, Dan ; ... - Nature Communications

There has been considerable interest in exploiting the spin degrees of freedom of electrons for potential information storage and computing technologies. Topological insulators (TIs), a class of quantum materials, have special gapless edge/surface states, where the spin polarization of the Dirac fermions is locked to the momentum direction. This spin–momentum locking property gives rise to very interesting spin-dependent physical phenomena such as the Edelstein and inverse Edelstein effects. However, the spin injection in pure surface states of TI is very challenging because of the coexistence of the highly conducting bulk states. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the spin injection and observemore »« less

Symmetry breaking and Landau quantization in topological crystalline insulators

Journal Article Serbyn, Maksym ; Fu, Liang - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In the recently discovered topological crystalline insulators SnTe and Pb_1–xSn_x(Te, Se), crystal symmetry and electronic topology intertwine to create topological surface states with many interesting features including Lifshitz transition, Van-Hove singularity, and fermion mass generation. These surface states are protected by mirror symmetry with respect to the (110) plane. In this work we present a comprehensive study of the effects of different mirror-symmetry-breaking perturbations on the (001) surface band structure. Pristine (001) surface states have four branches of Dirac fermions at low energy. We show that ferroelectric-type structural distortion generates a mass and gaps out some or all of thesemore »« less

Thin films of topological Kondo insulator candidate SmB₆: Strong spin-orbit torque without exclusive surface conduction

Journal Article Li, Yufan ; Ma, Qinli ; Huang, S. X. ; ... - Science Advances

The advent of topological insulators (TIs), a novel class of materials that harbor a metallic spin-chiral surface state coexisting with band-insulating bulk, opens up new possibilities for spintronics. One promising route is current-induced switching of an adjacent magnetic layer via spin-orbit torque (SOT), arising from the large spin-orbit coupling intrinsically possessed by TIs. The Kondo insulator SmB₆ has been recently proposed to be a strongly correlated TI, supported by the observation of a metallic surface state in bulk SmB₆, as evidenced by the thickness independence of the low-temperature resistance plateau. We report the synthesis of epitaxial (001) SmB₆/Si thin filmsmore »« less
