Emergent Transport Properties of Magnetic Topological Insulator Heterostructures

This book explores unique transport phenomena and functionalities in topological insulators coupled with magnetism and superconductivity, presenting original findings on current-direction-dependent nonreciprocal resistance, current-induced magnetization reversal, and chiral edge conduction at the domain wall. It also demonstrates how the coupling between superconductivity and topological surface state leads to substantial nonreciprocal resistance.

This captivating book delves into the realm of topological insulators, a recently discovered class of materials with a spin-momentum-locked surface state. Their unique spin texture makes them an exciting platform for exploring emergent phenomena, particularly when coupled with magnetism or superconductivity. The author focuses on the strong correlation between electricity and magnetism in magnetic topological insulators, presenting original findings on current-direction-dependent nonreciprocal resistance, current-induced magnetization reversal, and chiral edge conduction at the domain wall. Additionally, he showcases how the coupling between superconductivity and topological surface state leads to substantial nonreciprocal resistance. The author also elucidates the origins of these phenomena and deepens readers' understanding of the topologically nontrivial electronic state. The book features several works published in top journals and selected for prestigious awards, including the Presidents Award by the University of Tokyo and the Ikushi Prize, awarded to distinguished Ph.D. students in Japan.
