| Research Abstract |
For two-dimensional topological insulators and a surface state states on three-dimensional topological insulators, we demonstrated that an electron and spin Hall current can be controlled by an application of continuous laser beam. Underline physics of these phenomena is that the application of the laser field turns a electron hopping energy into a variable, and thus topological invariants that are uniquely fixed by given material parameters in turn become externally controllable variables. Consequently, we can expect quantized electron and spin Hall current can be photo-induced under an appropriate condition.
