Topological magnetoelectric effect in semiconductor nanostructures: Quantum wells, wires, dots, and rings

Electrostatic charges placed near the interface between ordinary and topological insulators induce magnetic fields through the so-called topological magnetoelectric effect. Here we present a numerical implementation of the associated Maxwell equations. The resulting model is simple, fast, and quanti...
