Fermi level dependent charge-to-spin current conversion by Dirac surface state of topological insulators

Abstract

The spin-momentum locking at the Dirac surface state of a topological insulator (TI) offers a distinct possibility of a highly efficient charge-to-spin current (C-S) conversion compared with spin Hall effects in conventional paramagnetic metals. For the development of TI-based spin current devices, it is essential to evaluate its conversion efficiency quantitatively as a function of the Fermi level EF position. Here we exemplify a coefficient of qICS to characterize the interface C-S conversion effect by using spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) for (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 thin films whose EF is tuned across the band gap. In bulk insulating conditions, interface C-S conversion effect via Dirac surface state is evaluated as nearly constant large values of qICS, reflecting that the qICS is inversely proportional to the Fermi velocity vF that is almost constant. However, when EF traverses through the Dirac point, the qICS is remarkably suppressed possibly due to the degeneracy of surface spins or instability of helical spin structure. These results demonstrate that the fine tuning of the EF in TI based heterostructures is critical to maximizing the efficiency using the spin-momentum locking mechanism.
