2 Outline Quantum spin Hall effect... some basics At the edge: A new kind of electron liquid Adding a magnetic impurity and a Rashba spin-orbit interaction Electrical control of the Kondo effect! Summary and outlook
3 Quantum spin Hall effect... some basics
4 Quantum spin Hall effect
5 Integer Quantum Hall effect B skipping currents quantization chiral edge states B. I. Halperin, PRB 25, 2185 (1982) no channel for backscattering ballistic transport along the edge, accounts for the quantization of the Hall conductance M. Büttiker, PRB 38, 9375 (1988)
6 Can a system be stable against local perturbations without breaking time-reversal invariance?
7 Consider a Gedanken experiment... B. A. Bernevig and S.-C. Zhang, PRL 96, (2006) > uniformly charged cylinder with electric field E = E(x, y, 0) spin-orbit interaction (E k) σ = Eσ z (k y x k x y) > B = A cf. with the IQHE in a symmetric gauge A = B 2 (y, x, 0) > Lorentz force A k eb(k y x k x y)
8 Quantum spin Hall (QSH) system single Kramers pair Two copies of a IQH system, bulk insulator with helical edge states > > First proposed by Kane and Mele for graphene (2005) too weak spin-orbit interaction, doesn t quite work... Bernevig et al. proposal for HgTe quantum wells (2006) Experimental observation by König et al. (2007)
9 Bernevig et al. proposal for HgTe quantum wells (2006) Experimental observation by König et al. (2007) from M. König et al., Science 318, 766 (2007)
10 Are the helical edge states stable against local perturbations? Yes! As long as the perturbations are time-reversal invariant! Look at the band structure of an HgTe quantum well... strong spin-orbit interactions in atomic p-orbitals create an inverted band gap (p-band on top of s-band) supports a single Kramers pair of helical edge states inside the inverted gap Kramers degeneracy at k=0 protects the stability of the edge states ballistic transport B. A. Bernevig et al., PRL 95, (2005) G = 2e2 h 4-terminal measurement, equilibration in contacts
11 At the edge: A new kind of electron liquid # of Kramers pair in a nontrivial (trivial) helical liquid 2D topological insulator (a.k.a. quantum spin Hall system) NK = 1 mod 2 = 0 mod 2 ν =0, 1 is a Z2 topological invariant and can be calculated from the band structure of the bulk ( bulk-edge correspondence ) L. Fu and C. L. Kane, PRB 76, (2007)

Fu and C. L. Kane, PRB 76, (2007) What if time-reversal symmetry is broken...?
13 ... for example, by the presence of a magnetic impurity? case study: Mn 2+ large and positive single-ion anisotropy (S z ) 2 from M. König et al., Science 318, 766 (2007) S =5/2 S eff =1/2 low T anisotropic spin exchange with the edge electrons R. Zitko et al., PRB 78, (2008) H K = Ψ (0) J (σ + S eff + σ S + eff )+J zσ z Seff z Ψ(0), Ψ T = ψ, ψ
14 Adding a magnetic impurity... The Kondo interaction is time-reversal invariant! Could it still cause a spontaneous breaking of time reversal invariance and collapse the QSH state?
15 Adding a magnetic impurity... Recall the Kondo effect One-loop RG equations: P. W. Anderson, J. Phys. C 3, 2436 (1970) J D = νj J z +... J z D = νj strong-coupling physics for T<<T K T K = D 0 exp( const./j 0 ) J 0 max(j,j z ) D=D0 formation of impurity-electron singlet ( Kondo screening )
16 Adding a magnetic impurity... T=0 insulator! Pauli principle: punctured 1D lattice
17 Adding a magnetic impurity... Does this really happen for the helical liquid? To find out, first add e-e interactions... important in 1D! bulk k F k F k + local (at impurity site) + + ( ) from Kondo 0 if U(1) spin symmetry is broken T. L. Schmidt et al., PRL 108, (2012)

Maciejko et al., PRL 102, (2009)
19 Adding a magnetic impurity... no correction to the edge conductance at T = 0! G =2e 2 /h weak e-e interaction strong e-e interaction from J. Maciejko et al., PRL 102, (2009)
20 Adding a magnetic impurity... Due to its topological nature, the QSH state follows the new shape of the edge. Weak coupling QSH states are robust against local breaking of time-reversal symmetry! J. Maciejko et al., PRL 102, (2009)
21 But... one important thing is missing from the analysis!
22 Rashba spin-orbit interaction! z 2DEG d semiconductor heterostructure d z Spatial asymmetry of band edges mimics an E-field in the z-direction H R = α(k x σ y k y σ x ) Yu. A. Bychkov and E. I. Rashba, J. Phys. C 17, 6039 (1984)

Surprisingly, for a strongly?? ing processes do not come into play. anisotropic Kondo exchange, a non-collinear spin inter action mediated by the Rashba coupling becomes rel The picture gets an added twist when including effects breaks the locking of spin to momentum. However, stillcompetes with the evant (in the sense there of RG)isand from... magnetic impurities, contributed by dopant ions or Kondo screening. This challenges the expectation that electronsatrapped potential inhomogeneities. an edge, singlebykramers pair on thesince QSH and this is all that matters! the Kondo effect is stable against time-reversal invari edge electron can backscatter from an impurity via spin L. Kane and E.?J. Mele, PRL 95, (2005) ant C. perturbations. Moreover, we show that the im exchange, time-reversal invariance no longer protects the purity contribution to the dc conductance at tempera helical states from mixing. In addition, correlated twotures T > TK can be switched on and off by adjusting electron? and inelastic single-electron processes?? must kinetic term Rashba 1 coupling.
