Engineering Topological Surface States and Giant Rashba Spin Splitting in BiTeI/Bi2Te3 Heterostructures
The search for strongly inversion asymmetric topological insulators is an active research field because these materials possess distinct properties compared with the inversion symmetric ones. In particular, it is desirable to realize a large Rashba spin-splitting (RSS) in such materials, which combined with the topological surface states (TSS) could lead to useful spintronics applications. In t...
متن کاملTopologically protected surface states in non-centrosymmetric superconductors
The hallmark of topological insulators and superconductors is the existence of topologically protected zeroenergy surface or edge states, some of which are of Majorana type. The experimental observation of these edge and surface states in HgTe/(Hg,Ce)Te quantum wells and in BiSb alloys, respectively, has lead to a renewed interest in topological states of matter. Recently, we have shown that to...
متن کاملSuperconductivity Bordering Rashba Type Topological Transition
Strong spin orbital interaction (SOI) can induce unique quantum phenomena such as topological insulators, the Rashba effect, or p-wave superconductivity. Combining these three quantum phenomena into a single compound has important scientific implications. Here we report experimental observations of consecutive quantum phase transitions from a Rashba type topological trivial phase to topological...
متن کاملSpin-orbit effects in a graphene bipolar pn junction
A graphene pn junction is studied theoretically in the presence of both intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit couplings. We show that a crossover from perfect reflection to perfect transmission is achieved at normal incidence by tuning perpendicular electric field. By further studying angular dependent transmission, we demonstrate that perfect reflection at normal incidence can be clearly distinguish...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Large Gap Topological Insulators with Tunable Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling in Group-IV films
The coexistence of nontrivial topology and giant Rashba splitting, however, has rare been observed in two-dimensional (2D) films, limiting severely its potential applications at room temperature. Here, we through first-principles calculations to propose a series of inversion-asymmetric group-IV films, ABZ2 (A ≠ B = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; Z = F, Cl, Br), whose stability are confirmed by phonon spectrum...
