AbstractEngineering and manipulation of unidirectional channels has been achieved in quantum Hall systems, leading to the construction of electron interferometers and proposals for low-power electronics and quantum information science applications. However, to fully control the mixing and interference of edge-state wave functions, one needs stable and tunable junctions. Encouraged by recent material candidates, here we propose to achieve this using an antiferromagnetic topological insulator that supports two distinct types of gapless unidirectional channels, one from antiferromagnetic domain walls and the other from single-height steps. Their distinct geometric nature allows them to intersect robustly to form quantum point junctions, which then enables their control by magnetic and electrostatic local probes. We show how the existence of stable and tunable junctions, the intrinsic magnetism and the potential for higher-temperature performance make antiferromagnetic topological insulators a promising platform for electron quantum optics and microelectronic applications.

Numerical simulations of the current domain picture, which is frequently used to describe the microwave induced zero resistance state of high mobility 2-dimensional electron systems, are shown. We demonstrate, that we obtain a situation, which is equivalent to the current domain picture by introducing an artificial domain wall into our network model for magneto transport. However, in contrast to the current domain picture the current in our simulations is insensitive to the width of the domains. Finally we propose an alternative picture where we use several domain walls, which are distributed along the current path. These serve as current filaments and lead also to a vanishing longitudinal resistance, while the Hall resistance remains unchanged.
