Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the Kane-Mele model and endeavor to demonstrate, through analytical calculations, how the presence of topological edge states influences the RKKY interaction. We illustrate that the effect diminishes as one moves away from the edges. To facilitate our analytical approach, we initially utilize a one-dimensional wire exhibiting linear dispersion for each spin as an approximation to the Kane-Mele model. We examine its impact on the RKKY interaction. Subsequently, we establish a correspondence between the edge states of the Kane-Mele model and a one-dimensional quantum wire model, wherein the coupling strength diminishes with increasing distance from the edges. Finally, we compare the analytical results with numerical findings obtained using the Landauer-Buttiker formulation.
