Abstract
Solid-state topological insulating phases, characterized by spin-momentum locked edge modes, provide a powerful route for spin and charge manipulation in electronic devices. We propose to control charge and spin transport in the helical edge modes by electrically switching the topological insulating phase in a HgTe/CdTe double quantum well device. We introduce the concept of a topological field-effect-transistor and analyze possible applications to a spin battery, which also realize a set up for an all-electrical investigation of the spin-polarization dynamics in metallic islands.
