Disorder enabled band structure engineering of a topological insulator surface
Three-dimensional topological insulators are bulk insulators with Z2 topological electronic order that gives rise to conducting light-like surface states. These surface electrons are exceptionally resistant to localization by non-magnetic disorder, and have been adopted as the basis for a wide range of proposals to achieve new quasiparticle species and device functionality. Recent studies have ...
متن کاملElectric-field tuning of the surface band structure of topological insulator Sb2Te3 thin films.
We measured the response of the surface state spectrum of epitaxial Sb(2)Te(3) thin films to applied gate electric fields by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The gate dependent shift of the Fermi level and the screening effect from bulk carriers vary as a function of film thickness. We observed a gap opening at the Dirac point for films thinner than four quintuple layers, due to t...
متن کاملInterface electronic structure at the topological insulator-ferrimagnetic insulator junction.
An interface electron state at the junction between a three-dimensional topological insulator film, Bi2Se3, and a ferrimagnetic insulator film, Y3Fe5O12 (YIG), was investigated by measurements of angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption magnetic circular dichroism. The surface state of the Bi2Se3 film was directly observed and localized 3d spin states of the Fe3+ in the YI...
متن کاملUnconventional band structure for a periodically gated surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator.
The surface states of the three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators are described by a two-dimensional (2D) massless dirac equation. A gate-voltage-induced one-dimensional potential barrier on such surfaces creates a discrete bound state in the forbidden region outside the dirac cone. Even for a single barrier it is shown that such a bound state can create an electrostatic analogue of Shubn...
متن کاملTopological Oxide Insulator in Cubic Perovskite Structure
The emergence of topologically protected conducting states with the chiral spin texture is the most prominent feature at the surface of topological insulators. On the application side, large band gap and high resistivity to distinguish surface from bulk degrees of freedom should be guaranteed for the full usage of the surface states. Here, we suggest that the oxide cubic perovskite YBiO3, more ...
