Up to this point, there has been little focus on the use of topological insulators in RTD's. Due to the nature of transport in topological insulators, it is found that transport through a topologically unique RTD could have spin polarization. It is also found that the general I-V curve form is retained in topological RTD's. Therefore, topological RTD's have strong potential and applicability in devices that require diode and spin control.
Topologically non-trivial RTD's have potential, but more analysis is needed to understand the subtle properties and feasibility of such a device. This work was most concentrated on attaining a preliminary understanding of this kind of device. For that reason, assumptions and simplifications were made to facilitate entry into the subject, but more quantitative methods should be employed to gain a deeper understanding. Stepping away from the square barrier simplification and the non-specific transmission probability expression would be an good way to probe
some of the deeper physics of this device.
