Intrinsic Topological Insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te3-xSex Thin Crystals
The quaternary topological insulator (Bi,Sb)2(Te,Se)3 has demonstrated topological surface states with an insulating bulk. Scientists have identified an optimized composition of Bi(1.5)Sb(0.5)Te(1.7)Se(1.3) with the highest resistivity reported. But the physics that drive to this composition remains unclear. Here we report the crystal structure and the magneto-transport properties of Bi(1.5)Sb(...
متن کاملSurface States Transport in Topological Insulator Nanowires
We investigate the transport properties of topological insulator (TI) Bi0.83Sb0.17 nanowires. Single-crystal nanowire samples with diameters ranging from 75 nm to 1.1 μm are prepared using high frequency liquid phase casting in a glass capillary; cylindrical single crystals with (101̄1) orientation along the wire axis are produced. Bi0.83Sb0.17 is a narrow-gap semiconductor with an energy gap at...
متن کاملGigantic negative magnetoresistance in the bulk of a disordered topological insulator
With the recent discovery of Weyl semimetals, the phenomenon of negative magnetoresistance (MR) is attracting renewed interest. Large negative MR is usually related to magnetism, but the chiral anomaly in Weyl semimetals is a rare exception. Here we report a mechanism for large negative MR which is also unrelated to magnetism but is related to disorder. In the nearly bulk-insulating topological...
متن کاملUniversal anyons at the irradiated surface of topological insulator
Anyons have recently received great attention due to their promising application in topological quantum computation. The best validated system that enjoys the anyonic excitations are the Laughlin states. The quasi-particles in Laughlin states are neither fermions nor bosons but possess the discrete statistical angle θ = π/m, with m being an integer. Here we report a possible realization of the ...
متن کاملChiral Spin Mode on the Surface of a Topological Insulator.
Using polarization-resolved resonant Raman spectroscopy, we explore collective spin excitations of the chiral surface states in a three dimensional topological insulator, Bi_{2}Se_{3}. We observe a sharp peak at 150 meV in the pseudovector A_{2} symmetry channel of the Raman spectra. By comparing the data with calculations, we identify this peak as the transverse collective spin mode of surface...
