Enhanced spin Seebeck effect signal due to spin-momentum locked topological surface states.
Spin-momentum locking in protected surface states enables efficient electrical detection of magnon decay at a magnetic-insulator/topological-insulator heterojunction. Here we demonstrate this property using the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), that is, measuring the transverse thermoelectric response to a temperature gradient across a thin film of yttrium iron garnet, an insulating ferrimagnet, and f...
متن کاملTorsional Surface Wave Propagation in Anisotropic Layer Sandwiched Between Heterogeneous Half-Space
The present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces (upper and lower half-space). Both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. The study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. The dispersion relation ...
متن کاملRashba split surface states in BiTeBr
Within density functional theory, we study the bulk band structure and surface states of BiTeBr. We consider both ordered and disordered phases, which differ in atomic order in the Te–Br sublattice. On the basis of relativistic ab initio calculations, we show that the ordered BiTeBr is energetically preferable as compared with the disordered one. We demonstrate that both Teand Brterminated surf...
متن کاملTopological insulator based spin valve devices: Evidence for spin polarized transport of spin-momentum-locked topological surface states
Spin-momentum helical locking is one of the most important properties of the nontrivial topological surface states (TSS) in 3D topological insulators (TIs). It underlies the iconic topological protection (suppressing elastic backscattering) of TSS and is foundational to many exotic physics (e.g., majorana fermions) and device applications (e.g., spintronics) predicted for TIs. Based on this spi...
متن کاملSurface reconstruction transition of metals induced by molecular adsorption
Two surface reconstruction patterns, strikingly different from the Au(111) intrinsic herringbone reconstruction, have been observed at the interfaces between Au(111) and the self-assembled monolayer of perylene or iron phthalocyanine by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These interfacial structures, elucidated by using the two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model and density-functional theory...
