Spin-polarized surface resonances accompanying topological surface state formation
Topological insulators host spin-polarized surface states born out of the energetic inversion of bulk bands driven by the spin-orbit interaction. Here we discover previously unidentified consequences of band-inversion on the surface electronic structure of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. By performing simultaneous spin, time, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we map the spin-pola...
متن کاملSpin-polarized surface-emitting lasers
We investigate the growth, fabrication, and characterization of an electrically-injected spin-polarized laser utilizing an Fe/n+-Al0.1Ga0.9As Schottky tunnel barrier for efficient spin injection into an InGaAs quantum well vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. A threshold current reduction of 11% and maximum degree of circular polarization of 23% are observed for a 15 μm mesa diameter laser a...
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 کاملElectrical detection of spin-polarized surface states conduction in (Bi(0.53)Sb(0.47))2Te3 topological insulator.
Strong spin-orbit interaction and time-reversal symmetry in topological insulators enable the spin-momentum locking for the helical surface states. To date, however, there has been little report of direct electrical spin injection/detection in topological insulator. In this Letter, we report the electrical detection of spin-polarized surface states conduction using a Co/Al2O3 ferromagnetic tunn...
متن کاملObservation of the spin-polarized surface state in a noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd
Recently, noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd has attracted considerable research interest due to the possibility of hosting topological superconductivity. Here we report a systematic high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and spin-resolved ARPES study of the normal state electronic and spin properties of BiPd. Our experimental results show the presence of a surfac...
