Surface 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 کاملDiacetylene polymerization on a bulk insulator surface.
Molecular electronics has great potential to surpass known limitations in conventional silicon-based technologies. The development of molecular electronics devices requires reliable strategies for connecting functional molecules by wire-like structures. To this end, diacetylene polymerization has been discussed as a very promising approach for contacting single molecules with a conductive polym...
متن کاملNanoscale electron transport at the surface of a topological insulator
The use of three-dimensional topological insulators for disruptive technologies critically depends on the dissipationless transport of electrons at the surface, because of the suppression of backscattering at defects. However, in real devices, defects are unavoidable and scattering at angles other than 180° is allowed for such materials. Until now, this has been studied indirectly by bulk measu...
متن کاملSurface-dominated transport and enhanced thermoelectric figure of merit in topological insulator Bi(1.5)Sb(0.5)Te(1.7)Se(1.3).
We report the observation of an order of magnitude enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT = 0.36) in topological insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.7Se1.3 nanowires at 300 K as compared with the bulk specimen (ZT = 0.028). The enhancement was primarily due to an order of magnitude increase in the electrical conductivity of the surface-dominated transport and thermally activated charge carri...
