2D layered transport properties from topological insulator Bi2Se3 single crystals and micro flakes
Low-field magnetotransport measurements of topological insulators such as Bi2Se3 are important for revealing the nature of topological surface states by quantum corrections to the conductivity, such as weak-antilocalization. Recently, a rich variety of high-field magnetotransport properties in the regime of high electron densities (∼10(19) cm(-3)) were reported, which can be related to addition...
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Topological Insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) represent a novel category of material whose bulk insulates, but whose surface conducts. The ability to produce topological insulators would be of great interest, because electron states can cross the insulating band gap, as well as surface conduction and spin-locking properties [1]. Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) is one of the best candidates for three dimensional (3D) ...
متن کاملTopological insulators in Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 with a single Dirac cone on the surface
Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter in which surface states residing in the bulk insulating gap of such systems are protected by time-reversal symmetry. The study of such states was originally inspired by the robustness to scattering of conducting edge states in quantum Hall systems. Recently, such analogies have resulted in the discovery of topologically protected states in...
متن کاملCrystal growth and anomalous transport properties of CuxBi2Se3
Topological insulators (TIs) have received considerable attention due to their potential to offer new platforms for the realization of novel states of quantum maters. TIs are characterized by their fully insulating gap in the bulk but necessarily gapless edge or surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry. Recently, the three-dimensional (3D) TIs were theoretically predicted and discover...
متن کاملSpin-charge separation of plasmonic excitations in thin topological insulators
We discuss plasmonic excitations in a thin slab of topological insulators. In the limit of no hybridization of the surface states and same electronic density of the two layers, the electrostatic coupling between the top and bottom layers leads to optical and acoustic plasmons which are purely charge and spin collective oscillations. We then argue that a recent experiment on the plasmonic excita...
