In this project we shall investigate the potential for spintronics of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) regime in hybrid nanostructures made by attaching ferromagnetic metal contacts to the edge states of two-dimensional topological insulators. Being able to harness the spin-momentum-locked helical edge states in the QSH regime will allow us to direct the spatial path of electrical currents by controlling their spin. This breakthrough has the potential for exploiting quantised electrical conduction to realise dramatic reductions in the power consumption of classical ICT hardware and provide a route to topological quantum computing by exploiting the presence of Majorana bound states.
