Hexagonally deformed Fermi surface of the 3D topological insulator Bi2Se3.

چکیده
A hexagonal deformation of the Fermi surface of Bi2Se3 has been for the first time observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. This is in contrast to the general belief that Bi2Se3 possesses an ideal Dirac cone. The hexagonal shape is found to disappear near the Dirac node, which would protect the surface state electrons from backscattering. It is also demonstrated that the Fermi energy of naturally electron-doped Bi2Se3 can be tuned by 1% Mg doping in order to realize the quantum topological transport.

Tuning the Fermi level with topological phase transition by internal strain in a topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin film.
In a three-dimensional topological insulator Bi2Se3, a stress control for band gap manipulation was predicted but no systematic investigation has been performed yet due to the requirement of large external stress. We report herein on the strain-dependent results for Bi2Se3 films of various thicknesses that are grown via a self-organized ordering process. Using small angle X-ray scattering and R...
متن کاملGiant Spin Pumping and Inverse Spin Hall Effect in the Presence of Surface and Bulk Spin-Orbit Coupling of Topological Insulator Bi2Se3.
Three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators are known for their strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the existence of spin-textured surface states that might be potentially exploited for "topological spintronics." Here, we use spin pumping and the inverse spin Hall effect to demonstrate successful spin injection at room temperature from a metallic ferromagnet (CoFeB) into the prototypical 3D ...
متن کاملEvaluation of mobility in thin Bi2Se3 Topological Insulator for prospects of Local Electrical Interconnects
Three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) has been conjectured as an emerging material to replace copper (Cu) as an interconnect material because of the suppression of elastic scattering from doping and charge impurities for carrier transport on TI surface. We, therefore via full real-space simulation, examine the feasibility of using thin 3D-TI (Bi2Se3) wire for the local electrical in...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the out-of-plane spin texture in the Dirac-cone surface state of a topological insulator.
We have performed spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Bi(2)Te(3) and present the first direct evidence for the existence of the out-of-plane spin component on the surface state of a topological insulator. We found that the magnitude of the out-of-plane spin polarization on a hexagonally deformed Fermi surface of Bi(2)Te(3) reaches maximally 25% of the in-plane counterpart, wh...
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...
