Valley and spin quantum Hall conductance of silicene coupled to a ferroelectric layer
We study the quantum valley and Hall conductances in silicene coupled to a ferroelectric (FE) layer. The spin orbit interaction in silicene couples the valley, pseudospin, and real spin degrees of freedom resulting in a topological Berry curvature in the system. The finite Berry curvature in turn in...
