Kirrily Rule, ANSTO
What are magnetic topological insulators and what can we do with them? This tutorial will cover some of the background information about topological insulators (FLEET theme 1) and what happens to them when we introduce magnetic materials.
I will cover the current state of affairs, including magnetic doping, magnetic proximity effects and magnetic heterostructure engineering. I also hope to discuss some recent measurements and future perspectives based on the current challenges experienced by these materials (pun intended!).
