The recent prediction, and subsequent discovery, of the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in thin films of the three-dimensional ferromagnetic topological insulator (MTI) (Cr$_y$Bi$_x$Sb$_{1-x-y}$)$_2$Te$_3$ has opened new possibilities for chiral-
edge-state-based devices in zero external magnetic field. Like the $ u=1$ quantum Hall system, the QAH system is predicted to have a single chiral edge mode circulating along the boundary of the film. Backscattering of the chiral edge mode should be suppressed, as recently verified by the observation of well-quantized Hall resistivities $rho_{yx} = pm h/e^2$, along with longitudinal resistivities as low as a few ohms. Dissipationless 1D conduction is also expected along magnetic domain walls. Here, we intentionally create a magnetic domain wall in a MTI and study electrical transport along the domain wall. We present the first observation of chiral transport along domain walls, in agreement with theoretical predictions. We present further evidence that two modes equilibrate and co-propagate along the length of the domain wall.
Magnetic topological insulators such as Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 provide a platform for the realization of versatile time-reversal symmetry-breaking physics. By constructing heterostructures with Neel order in an antiferromagnetic CrSb and magnetic topol
ogical order in Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3, we realize emergent interfacial magnetic phenomena which can be tailored through artificial structural engineering. Through deliberate geometrical design of heterostructures and superlattices, we demonstrate the use of antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in manipulating the magnetic properties of the topological surface massive Dirac fermions. This work provides a new framework on integrating topological insulators with antiferromagnetic materials and unveils new avenues towards dissipationless topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.
