Gate-Tunable Helical Currents in Commensurate Topological Insulator/Graphene Heterostructures

Abstract: van der Waals heterostructures made from graphene and three-dimensional topological insulators promise very high electron mobilities, a nontrivial spin texture, and a gate-tunability of electronic properties. Such a combination of advantageous electronic characteristics can only be achieved through proximity effects in heterostructures, as graphene lacks a large enough spin–orbit interaction. In turn, the heterostructures are promising candidates for all-electrical control of proximity-induced spin phenomena. … Show more

“…Using thin layers of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) like Bi 2 Te 3 or Bi 2 Se 3 can introduce even larger SOC [31,32]. In experiment, such graphene/TI heterostructures can be fabricated using either exfoliation techniques [33][34][35][36][37] or techniques like chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [38][39][40][41]. While the former case should result in incommensurate structures with * thomas.naimer@physik.uni-regensburg.de random twist angle, the latter will produce commensurate structures with mostly fixed twist angle Θ (Θ = 0°o r Θ = 30°) [38,40] between the two layers.…”
