Irreversible thermodynamics at surfaces: inverse Edelstein effect for topological insulator
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We employ Onsager’s irreversible thermodynamics to study the inverse Edelstein effect (IEE) for a non-magnetic material (NM) adjacent to a topological insulator (TI) with a strong spin–orbit interaction. The TI surface state region is treated as quasi two-dimensional (2D). For the IEE, the source is a 3D spin flux incident from the NM that converts, at the NM–TI interface, to a quasi-2D charge current in the TI. For the Edelstein effect (EE), the source is a quasi-2D charge flux incident from the TI that converts, at the interface, to a three-dimensional (3D) spin flux in the NM. For strong spin–orbit coupling, as considered here, when the 3D spin flux crosses to the 2D TI, the quasi-2D charge current is produced along with a quasi-2D spin accumulation. (For weak spin–orbit coupling, production of charge current and of spin accumulation are distinct processes.) We compute the associated rates of heating.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
