Abstract
We study the magneto-transport properties on the disordered surface of a topological insulator attached with a ferromagnet/ferromagnet junction. Since, in the surface Dirac Hamiltonian, out-of-plane magnetization induces a mass gap, while in-plane magnetization has a role of the effective vector potential, the mechanism of magneto-transport is different between these two cases. The former is similar to the conventional one in ferromagnetic metals, while the latter is due to the shift of Fermi circles in momentum space. Our numerical calculations show that the magnetoconductance in in-plane configuration is robust against disorder compared to that in out-of-plane configuration.
