Quantum spin Hall effect induced by electric field in silicene
Xing-Tao An, Yan-Yang Zhang, Jian-Jun Liu +1
We investigate the transport properties in a zigzag silicene nanoribbon in the presence of an external electric field. The staggered sublattice potential and two kinds of Rashba sp…
Spin-polarized current induced by a local exchange field in a silicene nanoribbon
Xing-Tao An, Yan-Yang Zhang, Jian-Jun Liu +1
A mechanism to generate a spin-polarized current in a two-terminal zigzag silicene nanoribbon is predicted. As a weak local exchange field that is parallel to the surface of silice…
Pure spin current in a two-dimensional topological insulator
Xing-Tao An, Yan-Yang Zhang, Jian-Jun Liu +1
We predict a mechanism to generate a pure spin current in a two-dimensional topological insulator. As the magnetic impurities exist on one of edges of the two-dimensional topologic…
