Fast response photogating in monolayer MoS2 phototransistors

Daniel Vaquero, Vito Clericò, Juan Salvador-Sánchez +6

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) phototransistors have been object of intensive research during the last years due to their potential for photodetection. Photo…

Many-impurity scattering on the surface of a topological insulator

José Luis Hernando, Yuriko Baba, Elena Díaz +1

We theoretically address the impact of a random distribution of non-magnetic impurities on the surface states formed at the interface between a trivial and a topological insulator.…

Spin-polarized electron transmission in DNA-like systems

Miguel A. Sierra, David Sanchez, Rafael Gutierrez +3

The helical distribution of the electronic density in chiral molecules, such as DNA and bacteriorhodopsin, has been suggested to induce a spin-orbit coupling interaction that may l…

Electric field manipulation of surface states in topological semimetals

Yuriko Baba, Álvaro Díaz-Fernández, Elena Díaz +2

We investigate the consequences of applying electric fields perpendicularly to thin films of topological semimetals. In particular, we consider Weyl and Dirac semimetals in a confi…

Floquet engineering of Dirac cones on the surface of a topological insulator

A. Diaz-Fernandez, E. Diaz, Álvaro Gómez-León +2

We propose to Floquet-engineer Dirac cones at the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator. We show that a large tunability of the Fermi velocity can be achieved as a f…

Topologically protected states in -doped junctions with band inversion

A. Diaz-Fernandez, N. del Valle, E. Diaz +1

A topological boundary can be formed at the interface between a trivial and a topological insulator. The difference in the topological index across the junction leads to robust gap…
