Weak localization effect in topological insulator micro flakes grown on insulating ferrimagnet BaFe12O19
Many exotic physics anticipated in topological insulators require a gap to be opened for their topological surface states by breaking time reversal symmetry. The gap opening has been achieved by doping magnetic impurities, which however inevitably create extra carriers and disorder that undermine the electronic transport. In contrast, the proximity to a ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic insulator may...
متن کاملGrowth of Antimony Telluride and Bismuth Selenide Topological Insulator Nanowires
Topological insulators are a relatively new class of materials, which are insulating in the bulk and conductive on the surface. Surface conductance measurements of topological insulators are often obscured by impurities in the bulk. Nanowires made of a topologically insulating material provide a solution to this problem with their large surface-area-to-volume ratio. I examine the growth procedu...
متن کاملUltraviolet detectors based on annealed zinc oxide thin films: epitaxial growth and physical characterizations
In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...
متن کاملThin films of topological Kondo insulator candidate SmB6: Strong spin-orbit torque without exclusive surface conduction
The advent of topological insulators (TIs), a novel class of materials that harbor a metallic spin-chiral surface state coexisting with band-insulating bulk, opens up new possibilities for spintronics. One promising route is current-induced switching of an adjacent magnetic layer via spin-orbit torque (SOT), arising from the large spin-orbit coupling intrinsically possessed by TIs. The Kondo in...
متن کاملTopological Kondo insulators.
Kondo insulators are a particularly simple type of heavy electron material, where a filled band of heavy quasiparticles gives rise to a narrow band insulator. Starting with the Anderson lattice Hamiltonian, we develop a topological classification of emergent band structures for Kondo insulators and show that these materials may host three-dimensional topological insulating phases. We propose a ...
