Spin-imbalance induced buried topological edge currents in Mott \& topological insulator heterostructures

Spin-imbalance induced buried topological edge currents in Mott \& topological insulator heterostructures

We theoretically investigate the heterostructure between a ferrimagnetic Mott insulator and a time-reversal invariant topological band insulator on the two-dimensional Lieb lattice with periodic boundary conditions. Our Hartree-Fock and slave-rotor mean-field results incorporate long-range Coulomb interactions. We present charge and magnetic reconstructions at the two edges of the heterostructure and …
