Capacitive scheme to detect the topological magnetoelectric effect
arXiv:2406.11591 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.246607
Abstract
The topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) is a defining property of three-dimensional topological insulators that was predicted on theoretical grounds more than a decade ago, but has still not been directly measured. In this Letter we propose a strategy for direct measurement of the TME and discuss the precision of the effect in real devices with charge and spin disorder.
