Thermal and electrical quantum Hall effects in ferromagnet-topological insulator-ferromagnet junction

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present the theoretical description for a class of experimental setups that measure quantum Hall coefficients in ferromagnet-topological insulator-ferromagnet (FM-TI-FM) junctions. We predict that varying the magnetization direction in ferromagnets, one can change the induced Hall voltage and transverse temperature gradient from the maximal values, corresponding to the quantized Hall coefficients, down to their complete suppression to zero. We provide detailed analysis of thermal and electrical Hall resistances as functions of the magnetization directions in ferromagnets, the spin-scattering time in TI, and geometrical positions of FM leads and measurement contacts.
