Can I know when spin will be locked to momentum in materials?

Spin locking is an important property in topological insulator. What is the reason behind this and when spin momentum locking happens in materials?

Physics: Why do we describe light by referring to its wavelength, but microwaves and radar pulses by referring to their frequency?

In physics, the description of the properties of light generally refers to its wavelength (nm), while in the range of microwaves and radio waves we refer to the frequency of a signal (e.g. kHz or...

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

Why almost every element would be metallized in sufficiently high pressure and low temperature?

(This statement is from wikipedia, BTW). What is so special about metallic bond that is limiting high-P low-T state of a matter (as long as individual atoms exist, not white dwarf of neutron star...

Should we reduce the standard unit of length to 0.31951540592 meter ?

The reasoning behind this question is to align the ratios of the proton potential in energy per charge to the speed of light in distance per time. As these two dimensions appear to be related,...

How do you mesh a thin solid in Fluent?

Hello, I have used the shell function on SpaceClaim to create thin solids for the model I am studying. These are contained within an enclosure for my study. I chose this approach as it avoids the...

No streamlines present in a small region inside a flow. This means exactly what?

No streamlines present means whether the flow is getting obstructed there and the velocity inside the region is zero? Or else, the fluid is trapped inside that region with a nonzero velocity?...

How to solve the fatal error "the entire source was rejected" in MCNP?

Simple geometry was made having concentric cylinders bounded by a square region. The geometry has a reflective boundary. The source was defined at one point in the boundary and when it had been...

Can bio-decomposer be a successful alternative to reduce residue burning?

To maintain the proper crop plan most of the times there is not enough time to make the field ready for the next crop. In this particular context , can bio-decompser be a solution? What about...

Of course. Moreover, the topological insulator state could be due to the Rashba splitting.

Vasanth Krishna Nadella

Thanks, but when will it occur in a topological insulator..

When there is a large internal electric field of the crystal perpendicular to the k. It can be at a surface or in a bulk of complicated crystal. This mechanism can be seen in my paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273758820_A_Simplified_Approach_to_the_Problems_of_Room-Temperature_Superconductivity

If you put a normal electric field to effect of Rashba splitting in TI there will be no special effects, because the internal field has a much more value.

Hi!

The band inversion is necessary condition and nontrivial Chern number is sufficient condition. If RSOI does not break these two conditions it can exist in TI.
