This study focuses on analyzing the magnetic ordering in magnetically-doped 2D systems with a helical spin structure, such as topological insulators and Rashba systems. It delves into the coupling between exchange and spin-orbit interactions that influence the formation of magnetic ordering. The research involves opening the gap at the Kramers (Dirac) point through Time Reversal Symmetry breaking and inducing out-of-plane spin polarization. Various effects related to the gap opening in doped topological insulators are explored, including QAHE, magnetization, and the influence of spin-orbit coupling on magnetization. The text discusses phenomena like Dirac-fermion-mediated ferromagnetism, surface-derived ferromagnetism, resonance influence of diluted magnetic atoms, and the interaction between impurities and surface states.

Factors influencing the gap value: V(0.5%)-BiTeI • V being embedded in the Bi layer has magnetic moment of 2.88 μB. • For V-doped BiTeI the magnetic moment are also induced on Te and I atoms in the immediate vicinity of V atoms and their p-states are hybridized with d-states of v atoms. • It opens the gap up to 10 meV. 2. Other possibility – presence of point defects in vicinity of the V atoms. Bi-vacancy located nearly the V-dopants induces more magnetization at Te atoms. It leads to opening the gap up to 34 meV I.I.Klimovskikh et al., sent for publication

Summary Magnetic doping of TIs and Rashba systems (BiTeI) characterized by enhanced SO-interaction by magnetic dopant (V) with anomalously low concentration (0.5 and 2%) leads to opening aanomalously large energy gap at the Kramers point at 15-20K due to influence of SO-interaction on magnetic coupling With growth of the diluted magnetic dopants in V-doped BiTeI from 0.5 till 2% the gap value is increasing from 90 till 125 meV. The use of circularly polarized synchrotron radiation leads to opening the gap (of about 90 meV) in V-doped TI and BITeI even at room temperature with opposite spin structure at the borders of the gap. As a result, a reversal induced out-of-plane magnetization is induced which can be switched by the direction of circular polarization. The formed spin texture can be described as magnetic dopant induced surface Skirmion-like texture in 2DEG Thank you very much for your attention
