Scientists find new way to identify, manipulate topological metals for spintronics

Scientists pioneer technique for working with topological materials

November 27, 2019 | Materials Science and Engineering, Metals, Physics

An electron incident on a Weyl semimetal from a normal metal is transmitted into specific states in the Weyl semimetal along with a reflection that conserves momentum, energy, and spin. A net spin current with no net flow of electrons can give rise to a charge current in the Weyl semimetal.
