We consider the proximity effect in a Topological Insulator sandwiched between two conventional superconductors, by comparing s-wave spin singlet superconducting pairing correlations and odd-parity triplet pairing correlations with zero spin component orthogonal to the slab (polar phase). A superconducting gap opens in the Dirac dispersion of the surface states existing at the interfaces. An axial vortex is included, piercing the slab along the normal to the interfaces with the superconductors. It is known that, when proximity is s-wave, quasiparticles in the gap are Majorana Bound States, localized at opposite interfaces. We report the full expression for the quantum field associated to the midgap neutral fermions, as derived in the two-orbital band model for the TI. When proximity involves odd-parity pairing, midgap modes are charged Surface Andreev Bound States, and they originate from interfacial circular states of definite chirality, centered at the vortex singularity and decaying in the TI film with oscillations. When the chemical potential is moved away from midgap, extended states along the vortex axis are also allowed. Their orbital structure depends on the symmetry of the bulk band from where the quasiparticle level splits off.

The emergence of topological order in graphene is in great demand for the realization of quantum spin Hall states. Recently, it is theoretically proposed that the spin textures of surface states in topological insulator can be directly transferred to
graphene by means of proximity effect. Here we report the observations of the topological proximity effect in the graphene-topological insulator Bi2Se3 heterojunctions via magnetotransport measurements. The coupling between the p_z orbitals of graphene and the p orbitals of surface states on the Bi2Se3 bottom surface can be enhanced by applying perpendicular negative magnetic field, resulting in a giant negative magnetoresistance at the Dirac point up to about -91%. An obvious resistivity dip in the transfer curve at the Dirac point is also observed in the hybrid devices, which is consistent with the theoretical predictions of the distorted Dirac bands with unique spin textures inherited from Bi2Se3 surface states.
We report an experimental study of electron transport properties of MnSe/(Bi,Sb)2Te3 heterostructures, in which MnSe is an antiferromagnetic insulator, and (Bi,Sb)2Te3 is a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI). Strong magnetic proximity effec
t is manifested in the measurements of the Hall effect and longitudinal resistances. Our analysis shows that the gate voltage can substantially modify the anomalous Hall conductance, which exceeds 0.1 e2/h at temperature of 1.6 K and magnetic field of 5 T, even though only the top TI surface is in proximity to MnSe. This work suggests that heterostructures based on antiferromagnetic insulators provide a promising platform for investigating a wide range of topological spintronic phenomena.
We consider a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) wire with a non-uniform chemical potential induced by gating across the cross-section. This inhomogeneity in chemical potential lifts the degeneracy between two one-dimensional surface state
subbands. A magnetic field applied along the wire, due to orbital effects, breaks time-reversal symmetry and lifts the Kramers degeneracy at zero-momentum. If placed in proximity to an $s$-wave superconductor, the system can be brought into a topological phase at relatively weak magnetic fields. Majorana bound states (MBSs), localized at the ends of the TI wire, emerge and are present for an exceptionally large region of parameter space in realistic systems. Unlike in previous proposals, these MBSs occur without the requirement of a vortex in the superconducting pairing potential, which represents a significant simplification for experiments. Our results open a pathway to the realisation of MBSs in present day TI wire devices.
Enhancing the spin-orbit interaction in graphene, via proximity effects with topological insulators, could create a novel 2D system that combines nontrivial spin textures with high electron mobility. In order to engineer practical spintronics applica
tions with such graphene/topological insulator (Gr/TI) heterostructures, an understanding of the hybrid spin-dependent properties is essential. {However to date, despite the large number of experimental studies on Gr/TI heterostructures reporting a great variety of remarkable (spin) transport phenomena, little is known about the true nature of the spin texture of the interface states as well as their role on the measured properties. Here we use {it ab initio} simulations and tight-binding models to determine the precise spin texture of electronic states in graphene interfaced with a Bi$_2$Se$_3$ topological insulator. Our calculations predict the emergence of a giant spin lifetime anisotropy in the graphene layer, which should be a measurable hallmark of spin transport in Gr/TI heterostructures, and suggest novel types of spin devices
In the following paper we investigate the critical temperature $T_c$ behavior in the two-dimensional S/TI (S denotes superconductor and TI - topological insulator) junction with a proximity induced in-plane helical magnetization in the TI surface. Th
e calculations of $T_c$ are performed using the general self-consistent approach based on the Usadel equations in Matsubara Greens functions technique. We show that the presence of the helical magnetization leads to the nonmonotonic behavior of the critical temperature as a function of the topological insulator layer thickness.
