Dynamical axion field in topological magnetic insulators

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that magnetic fluctuations of topological insulators couple to the electromagnetic fields exactly like the axions, and proposed several experiments to detect this dynamical axion field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spin polarization of the quantum spin Hall edge states

TL;DR: The quantum spin Hall state is predicted to consist of two oppositely polarized spin currents travelling in opposite directions around the edges of a topological insulator as discussed by the authors, and non-local measurements of the transport in HgTe quantum wells confirm the polarized nature of these edge states.

Dynamical Axion Field in Topological Magnetic Insulators

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that magnetic fluctuations of topological insulators couple to the electromagnetic fields exactly like the axions, and proposed several experiments to detect this dynamical axion field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological quantization in units of the fine structure constant.

TL;DR: This Letter proposes an optical experiment to directly measure this topological quantization phenomenon, independent of material details, and provides a way to measure the half-quantized Hall conductances on the two surfaces of the topological insulator independently of each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kondo effect in the helical edge liquid of the quantum spin Hall state.

TL;DR: The edge conductance of a QSH insulator as a function of temperature in the presence of a magnetic impurity is calculated using linear response and renormalization group methods.
