Reflectionless Transport of Surface Dirac Fermions on Topological Insulators with Induced Ferromagnetic Domain Walls
read the original abstract
The properties of surface Dirac Fermions on a 3D topological insulator in proximity to a magnetic insulator with spatially textured magnetization are considered. We present an exact analytical treatment of the spectrum, the bound states and the domain wall resistance for an extended generic domain wall with in-plane and out-of-plane magnetizations. In the latter case, we find oscillations in the domain wall resistance as a function of the wall width and for certain widths a complete absence of reflections for all incoming momenta. The surprising occurrence of oscillations and the reflectionless potentials can be related to a supersymmetry of the surface Dirac Hamiltonian combined with the domain wall profile.
