Rashba spin orbit coupling in the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model
Manuel Laubach, Johannes Reuther, Ronny Thomale +1
Spin-orbit (SO) coupling is the crucial parameter to drive topological insulating phases in electronic band models. In particular, the generic emergence of SO coupling involves the…
Giant magnetoresistance and perfect spin filter in silicene, germanene, and stanene
Stephan Rachel, Motohiko Ezawa
Silicene, germanene and stanene are two-dimensional topological insulators exhibiting helical edge states. We investigate global and local manipulations at the edges by exposing th…
Quantum phase transitions of topological insulators without gap closing
Stephan Rachel
We consider two-dimensional Chern insulators and time-reversal invariant topological insulators and discuss the effect of perturbations breaking either particle-number conservation…
Tunneling spectra simulation of interacting Majorana wires
Ronny Thomale, Stephan Rachel, Peter Schmitteckert
Recent tunneling experiments on InSb hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices have provided hope for a stabilization of Majorana edge modes in a spin-orbit quantum wire subject…
