This project is based on the idea that quantum effects emerging by virtue of the interface itself can be directly used to control the spin orientation. Specifically, instead of searching for suitable interfaces to decrease the quantum tunneling phenomena in the current electronic device models, we propose to explore the manipulation of interface as a mechanism to control the spin-polariza…
Systems with non-trivial topological phases have insulating bulk, but exhibit channels of the conductivity located at the surface (or edge for a 2D system), which is a property of the topology of the system. Since the surface states are protected by this topology, the channel of the conductivity are free from backscattering, which makes the topological insulators ideal for application in …
The candidate currently has a postdoctoral scholarship from FAPESP. Upon request of this scholarship, we have explicitly mentioned the intention for him to spend one year abroad developing the project with our international collaborator, Prof. Alex Zunger. This project is based on the idea that quantum effects emerging by virtue of the interface itself can be directly used to control the …
A main basic-science objective of spintronics is to understand the mechanisms by which it is possible to achieve efficient control of both spin configurations and spin currents. The generation of spin currents, spin injections and spin conservation is mediated by the Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) mainly via the Rashba effect and/or the topological effects. Therefore, the search for systems wi…
