Theory of Inverse Edelstein Effect of The Surface States of A Topological Insulator

Abstract The surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators possess the unique property of spin-momentum interlocking. This property gives rise to the interesting inverse Edelstein effect (IEE), in which an applied spin bias μ is converted to a measurable charge voltage difference V. We...
