Magnetic interaction and magnetic fluctuations in topological insulators with ordered and disordered magnetic adatoms

ORAL

Abstract

Using a first-principles Green's function approach we study magnetic properties of the magnetic binary topological insulators Bi$_2$Se$_3$, Bi$_2$Te$_23$ and Sb$_2$Te$_3$ doped with 3d transition metals. We analyze the magnetic phase for each dopant, the exchange interaction, the Curie temperature and the Bloch spectral function. Furthermore, we observe that the interaction of magnons with surface electrons essentially renormalizes the electron energy spectrum. The renormalized spectrum is nonlinear and can be characterized by a negative effective mass of electrons and holes for any k point different from 0. The electron velocity near the Dirac point depends on the electron-magnon coupling.
