Band structure engineering in (Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(2)Te(3) ternary topological insulators.
Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials with insulating bulk and topologically protected metallic surfaces with Dirac-like band structure. The most challenging problem faced by current investigations of these materials is to establish the existence of significant bulk conduction. Here we show how the band structure of topological insulators can be engineered by molecular beam epitaxy...
متن کاملIntrinsic 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 کاملMicro-metric electronic patterning of a topological band structure using a photon beam
In an ideal 3D topological insulator (TI), the bulk is insulating and the surface conducting due to the existence of metallic states that are localized on the surface; these are the topological surface states. Quaternary Bi-based compounds of Bi(2-x)Sb(x)Te(3-y)Se(y) with finely-tuned bulk stoichiometries are good candidates for realizing ideal 3D TI behavior due to their bulk insulating charac...
متن کاملRealization of tunable Dirac cone and insulating bulk states in topological insulators (Bi1−xSbx)2Te3
The bulk-insulating topological insulators with tunable surface states are necessary for applications in spintronics and quantum computation. Here we present theoretical evidence for modulating the topological surface states and achieving the insulating bulk states in solid-solution (Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(2)Te(3). Our results reveal that the band inversion occurs in (Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(2)Te(3), indicating t...
متن کاملLandau quantization and the thickness limit of topological insulator thin films of Sb2Te3.
We report the experimental observation of Landau quantization of molecular beam epitaxy grown Sb{2}Te{3} thin films by a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Different from all the reported systems, the Landau quantization in a Sb{2}Te{3} topological insulator is not sensitive to the intrinsic substitutional defects in the films. As a result, a nearly perfect linear energy dispersion ...
