We aim to develop a new spintronics platform where topological effects in Dirac and Weyl materials are combined with spintronic effects for spin-based information storage and processing technologies. Our vision is to exploit the electronic bands of topological materials through Berry curvature design, spin-orbit coupling strength, and tuning time reversal symmetry via magnetic exchange interactions in the heterostructures. We develop spintronic technologies by investigating spin circuits, spin transport and dynamics, creation and control of spin polarized current, novel spin textures, and spin-orbit phenomena such as spin Hall and Rashba-Edelstein effects.
