Fermi level dependent spin pumping from a magnetic insulator into a topological insulator

Topological spintronics aims to exploit the spin-momentum locking in the helical surface states of topological insulators for spin-orbit torque devices. We address a fundamental question that still remains unresolved in this context: Does the topological surface state alone produce the largest value...
