Enhanced spin Seebeck effect signal due to spin-momentum locked topological surface states

Future spintronic devices may exploit topological insulators, bulk insulators with unique spin-momentum locked conductive surface states. Here, the authors demonstrate the detection of thermally-generated spin currents in a ferromagnetic-insulator/topological-insulator heterostructure.
