Kinetic magnetoelectric effect in topological insulators

The kinetic magnetoelectric effect is an orbital analog of the Edelstein effect and offers an additional degree of freedom to control magnetization via the charge current. Here, using DFT calculations, the authors demonstrate the presence of said effect in a topological insulator identifying Cu2ZnSn...
