Dirac-electron-mediated magnetic proximity effect in topological insulator/magnetic insulator heterostructures

The possible realization of dissipationless chiral edge current in a topological insulator/magnetic insulator heterostructure is based on the condition that the magnetic proximity exchange coupling at the interface is dominated by the Dirac surface states of the topological insulator. Here we report...
