Valleytronic topological filters in silicene-like inner-edge systems

Inner edge state with spin and valley degrees of freedom is a promising candidate for designing a dissipationless device due to the topological protection.The central challenge for the application of the inner edge state is to generate and modulate the polarized currents.In this work,we discover a new mechanism to generate fully valley-and spin-valley-polarized current caused by the Bloch wavevector mismatch(BWM).Based on this mechanism,we design some serial-typed inner-edge filters.By using once of the BWM,the coincident states could be divided into transmitted and reflected modes,which can serve as a valley or spin-valley filter.In particular,while with twice of the BWM,the incident current is absolutely reflected to support an off state with a specified valley and spin,which is different from the gap effect.These findings give rise to a new platform for designing valleytronics and spin-valleytronics.
