Penetration depth and nonlocal manipulation of quantum spin hall edge states in chiral honeycomb nanoribbons
Abstract We have studied numerically the penetration depth of quantum spin hall edge states in chiral honeycomb nanoribbons based on the Green’s function method. The changing of edge orientation from armchair to zigzag direction decreases the penetration depth drastically. The penetration depth is u...
