Development of ferromagnetism in the doped topological insulator Bi2−xMnxTe3
The development of ferromagnetism in Mn-doped Bi2Te3 is characterized through measurements on a series of single crystals with different Mn content. Scanning tunneling microscopy analysis shows that the Mn substitutes on the Bi sites, forming compounds of the type Bi2−xMnxTe3, and that the Mn substitutions are randomly distributed, not clustered. Mn doping first gives rise to local magnetic mom...
متن کاملAmbipolar field effect in the ternary topological insulator (Bi<sub><i>x</i></sub>Sb<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>)<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> by composition tuning
Topological insulators exhibit a bulk energy gap and spin-polarized surface states that lead to unique electronic properties1–9, with potential applications in spintronics and quantum information processing. However, transport measurements have typically been dominated by residual bulk charge carriers originating from crystal defects or environmental doping10–12, and these mask the contribution...
متن کاملGrowth, Structure, and Electronic Properties of Epitaxial Bismuth Telluride Topological Insulator Films on BaF2 (111) Substrates
Epitaxial growth of topological insulator bismuth telluride by molecular beam epitaxy onto BaF2 (111) substrates is studied using Bi2Te3 and Te as source materials. By changing the beam flux composition, different stoichiometric phases are obtained, resulting in high quality Bi2Te3 and Bi1Te1 epilayers as shown by Raman spectroscopy and high-resolution X-ray diffraction. From X-ray reciprocal s...
متن کاملCrystal Shape Engineering of Topological Crystalline Insulator SnTe Microcrystals and Nanowires with Huge Thermal Activation Energy Gap
Since different high-symmetrical crystal planes of topological crystalline insulator possess their own topological electronic structure, manipulating crystal shapes with distinct facets of SnTe nanostructures is crucial for the realization of desired topological surface properties. Here, we developed crystal shapes engineering for the controllable synthesis of SnTe microcrystals and nanowires w...
متن کاملPseudogap and proximity effect in the Bi2Te3/Fe1+yTe interfacial superconductor
In the interfacial superconductor Bi2Te3/Fe1+yTe, two dimensional superconductivity occurs in direct vicinity to the surface state of a topological insulator. If this state were to become involved in superconductivity, under certain conditions a topological superconducting state could be formed, which is of high interest due to the possibility of creating Majorana fermionic states. We report di...
