Electronic and spin transport in Bismuthene with magnetic impurities

Abstract: Topological insulators have remained as candidates for future electronic devices since their first experimental realization in the past decade. The existence of topologically protected edge states could be exploited to generate a robust platform and develop quantum computers. In this work we explore the role of magnetic impurities in the transport properties of topological insulators, in particular, we study the effect on the edge states conductivity. By means of realistic $\it{ab}$ $\it{initio}$ calculations we simulate the interaction between magnetic adatoms and topological insulators, furthermore, our main goal is to obtain the transport properties for large samples as it would be possible to localize edge states at large scales.
