Magnetic Surface

Caption

This is a depiction of realization of edge modes on sample surface. At left, a schematic representation of magnetic structure is shown, dark and light representing down and up polarization, respectively. At right, the corresponding edge mode structure is shown, with the green arrows representing chiral modes at magnetic reversal. The electrical current flows in the same manner as in the quantum Hall and anomalous quantum Hall states.
