Research Abstract |
We calculate thermoelectric properties of the topological insulators. For two-dimensional topological insulators, as the temperature is lowered, the edge-state transport becomes dominant over the bulk transport. We also obtain universal phase diagrams describing the phase transitions between the topological and ordinary insulators. Lastly, we calculate the spin Hall conductivity for platinum by first-principle methods, and show that the giant spin Hall effect in platinum is caused by the band crossings near the Fermi energy.
