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 10):
A method of forming a sensor, the method comprising:\n forming a first electrode region; forming a second electrode region; forming a detector region; and electrically coupling the detector region to the first electrode region and the second electrode region; the detector region comprising 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; the detector region further comprising a second layer comprising a first insulating magnetic coupler; wherein a magnetic field applied to the detector region is sufficient to change a resistance of the conducting path by:\n 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 along the surface of the topological insulator; and \n breaking a time-reversal symmetry characteristic of the topological insulator.
