چکیده
Topological insulators are good candidates for charge to spin conversion with high efficiency due their spin-polarized topological surface states (TSSs). In this work, we provide experimental evidence two-dimensional (2D) TSSs in ${(\mathrm{Sn}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{4})}_{n} {({\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{3})}_{m}$ natural van der Waals superlattices grown by molecular beam epitaxy using angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetotransport. While the overlap bulk conduction band (BCB) at Fermi energy, it is shown that increasing Sn composition, influence of BCB reduced becomes minimum $\mathrm{Sn}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{4}$. The latter compound, found be form septuplet layers, shows weak antilocalization effect a prefactor $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\sim}--0.41$, indicating behave as one 2D channel which magnetotransport properties influenced large spin-orbit coupling.

Intrinsic conduction through topological surface states of insulating Bi2Te3 epitaxial thin films.
Topological insulators represent a novel state of matter with surface charge carriers having a massless Dirac dispersion and locked helical spin polarization. Many exciting experiments have been proposed by theory, yet their execution has been hampered by the extrinsic conductivity associated with the unavoidable presence of defects in Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 bulk single crystals, as well as impuriti...
متن کاملSurface States of Topological Insulators
We introduce a topological boundary condition to study the surface states of topological insulators within a long-wavelength four-band model. We find that the Dirac point energy, the band curvature, and the spin texture of surface states are crystal-face dependent. For an arbitrary termination of a bulk crystal, the energy of the symmetry protected Dirac point is determined by the bulk physics ...

In this work we study the topologically protected states of the Sb(111) surface by using ab initio transport theory. In the presence of a strong surface perturbation we obtain standing-wave states resulting from the superposition of spin-polarized surface states. By Fourier analysis, we identify the underlying two dimensional scattering processes and the spin texture. We find evidence of resona...

Topological superconductors have become a subject of intense research due to their potential use for technical applications in device fabrication and quantum information. Besides fully gapped superconductors, unconventional superconductors with point or line nodes in their order parameter can also exhibit nontrivial topological characteristics.

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...
