Ballistic Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Core Shell Nanowires and Rolled-up Nanotubes
Ching Hao Chang, Carmine Ortix
In ferromagnetic nanostructures, the ballistic anisotropic magnetoresistance (BAMR) is a change in the ballistic conductance with the direction of magnetization due to spin-orbit i…
Topological origin of edge states in two-dimensional inversion-symmetric insulators and semimetals
Guido van Miert, Carmine Ortix, Cristiane Morais Smith
Symmetries play an essential role in identifying and characterizing topological states of matter. Here, we classify topologically two-dimensional (2D) insulators and semimetals wit…
Surface-state spin textures in strained bulk HgTe: strain-induced topological phase transitions
Frank Kirtschig, Jeroen van den Brink, Carmine Ortix
The opening of a band gap due to compressive uniaxial strain renders bulk HgTe a strong three-dimensional topological insulators with protected gapless surface states at any surfac…
Topological Mirror Insulators in One Dimension
Alexander Lau, Jeroen van den Brink, Carmine Ortix
We demonstrate the existence of topological insulators in one dimension protected by mirror and time-reversal symmetries. They are characterized by a nontrivial topo…
Designing Electron Spin Textures and Spin Interferometers by Shape Deformations
Zu-Jian Ying, Paola Gentile, Carmine Ortix +1
We demonstrate that the spin orientation of an electron propagating in a one-dimensional nanostructure with Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling can be manipulated on demand by changing…
Topological end states due to inhomogeneous strains in wrinkled semiconducting ribbons
Sudhakar Pandey, Carmine Ortix
We show that curvature-induced inhomogeneous strain distributions in nanoscale buckled semiconducting ribbons lead to the existence of end states which are topologically protected…
