Finite size effects on helical edge states in a quantum spin-Hall system.
The hallmark of the spin-Hall insulator is the presence of gapless edge states of different spins moving in opposite directions. Through analytical solutions in a model calculation for a strip of finite width, we find that edge states on the two sides can couple together to produce a gap in the spectrum, destroying the quantum spin-Hall effect. The application of a magnetic field can however mo...
متن کاملAnomalous spin Hall effects in Dresselhaus (110) quantum wells
Anomalous spin Hall effects that belong to the intrinsic type in Dresselhaus (110) quantum wells are discussed. For the out-of-plane spin component, antisymmetric current-induced spin polarization induces opposite spin Hall accumulation, even though there is no spin-orbit force due to Dresselhaus (110) coupling. A surprising feature of this spin Hall induction is that the spin accumulation sign...
متن کاملAnomalous edge transport in the quantum anomalous Hall state.
We predict by first-principles calculations that thin films of a Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 magnetic topological insulator have gapless nonchiral edge states coexisting with the chiral edge state. Such gapless nonchiral states are not immune to backscattering, which would explain dissipative transport in the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state observed in this system experimentally. Here, we study the...
متن کاملAnomalous finite-size effects in the Battle of the Sexes
The Battle of the Sexes describes asymmetric conflicts in mating behavior of males and females. Males can be philanderer or faithful, while females are either fast or coy, leading to a cyclic dynamics. The adjusted replicator equation predicts stable coexistence of all four strategies. In this situation, we consider the effects of fluctuations stemming from a finite population size. We show tha...
متن کاملFinite-Size Monte Carlo Calculations for Anisotropic Quantum Hall Liquids
At low temperatures, two-dimensional electron systems in a perpendicular magnetic field exhibit remarkable quantum phenomena [1]. The strongly correlated electrons stabilize in different quantum phases as the quantum Hall filling factor is varied. In this work, we present finite-size Monte Carlo simulation results for anisotropic quantum Hall liquid states observed at certain even-denominator q...
