Spin-momentum locked interaction between guided photons and surface electrons in topological insulators

The propagation of electrons and photons can respectively have the spin-momentum locking effect which correlates spin with linear momentum. For surface electrons in three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs), their spin is locked to the transport direction. Analogously, photons in optical wavegu...
