DETECTION OF SURFACE SPIN CURRENT IN 3-DIMENSIONAL TOPOLOGICAL INSULATOR, BiSbTeSe — •Masashi Shiraishi1, Yuichiro Ando1, Takahiro Hamasaki1, Kohji Segawa2, Satoshi Sasaki2, Feng Yang2, Mario Novak2, and Yoichi Ando21Kyoto Univ., Japan — 2ISIR, Osaka Univ., Japan

Topological insulators (TIs) attract tremendous attention in recent years, since topologically-protected edge current is a persistent pure spin current. The first detection of the edge current was achieved by using 2-dimensional TI, HgTe quantum well [1], and the next challenge is to detect the edge current in 3-dimensional TIs, because a number of spin channel can be dramatically increased. Whereas Li et al. claimed that they successfully detected the surface spin current in Bi2Se3 by using an electrical spin accumulation method [2], the polarity of the spin signals is not accordance with the direction of magnetization of a detector ferromagnet. Thus, there is still open for discussion how to detect the edge spin current. Here, we present the detection of the edge spin current of BiSbTeSe, which is a bulk insulative TI [3]. The spin signal due to the spin accumulation was detected electrically, and was observed up to 150 K [4].
