Topological quantum materials are viewed as a promising prospect for energy-efficient electronics and advanced technology in the future. Among their remarkable features is the ability to conduct spin-polarized electrons on their surface, despite being non-conductive in their interior. To better grasp this concept, it’s important to understand that spin-polarized electrons possess intrinsic angular momentum, indicating
