Electric field controlled spin- and valley-polarized edge states in silicene with extrinsic Rashba effect
In the presence of extrinsic Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we find that silicene can host a new quantum anomalous Hall state with spin- and valley-polarized edge states, which can be effectively controlled by the exchange field and electric field. In this new state, the pair of nontrivial edge states reside in …
