Peter Armitage, Johns Hopkins University, Yoshinori Tokura, Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Japan UCLA professor and professor Wangkang Long cooperation, in "Nature materials" ( Nature materials ) "Prospects" (Perspective) column published online entitled "spintronics and magnetic study of electricity topological insulator" ( topological and spintronics Magnetoelectronics ) review paper, review, discuss and prospect the research of spintronics and magnetoelectrics based on topological insulators
.

Topological electronic materials (such as topological insulators, magnetic topological insulators, etc.

This article reviews several important physical phenomena realized on topological insulators, including spin-orbital moment, magnetic proximity effect, antiferromagnetic order and topological inter-order interaction, formation of topological spin structure, etc.
