Scattering of Dirac electrons from a skyrmion: Emergence of robust skew scattering
We study electron scattering from a closed magnetic structure embedded in the top surface of a topological insulator. Outside the structure there is a uniform layer of ferromagnetic insulators, leading to a positive effective mass for the Dirac electrons. The mass inside the structure can be enginee...
