Materials with strong spin-textured bands
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The materials that exhibit strong spin-textured bands are rapidly attracting more and more attention in past few years. In this new class of quantum materials, the band structures are strongly influenced by spin/magnetization direction, affording new twist to control topological behaviors, quantum anomalous Hall effect, transport, and optical properties by rotating the spin/magnetization. The control of spin direction in spin-textured band materials can be considered as a fundamentally new route toward desired properties compared with conventional spin ordering control. In this article, we will review the research progress on spin-textured band materials from both theoretical and experimental aspects, providing the critical ingredient of this new type of materials, united theory, challenging, and perspective for future research.
