Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a sensor having a first electrode, a second electrode and a detector region electrically coupled between the first electrode region and the second electrode region. The detector region includes a first layer having a topological insulator. The topological insulator includes a conducting path along a surface of the topological insulator, and the detector region further includes a second layer having a first insulating magnetic coupler, wherein a magnetic field applied to the detector region changes a resistance of the conducting path.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of forming a sensor, the method comprising:\n forming a first electrode region; forming a second electrode region; forming a detector region; electrically coupling the detector region to the first electrode and the second electrode; forming the detector region to include a first layer comprising a topological insulator; the topological insulator having an insulating region in a body of the topological insulator; the topological insulator further having a conducing path along a surface of the topological insulator, wherein a steady state condition of the topological insulator comprises the insulation region acting as an insulator and the conducting path along the surface of the topological insulator acting as a current conductor; and forming the detector region to further include a second layer comprising a first insulating magnetic coupler; wherein a magnetic field applied to the detector region is sufficient to change the steady state condition of the topological insulator by developing energy gaps in the conducting path along the surface of the topological insulator that are sufficient to change a resistance of the conducting path.
