Modeling and Evaluation of Topological Insulator/Ferromagnet Heterostructure-Based Memory

Topological insulators (TIs) are unique materials that have insulating bulk but conducting surface states. In this paper, we propose a simulation framework for TI/ferromagnet (FM) heterostructures that can capture the electronic band structure of a TI while calculating the transport properties. Our model differs from TI/FM models proposed in the literature in a way that it can account for the 3-D ...
