Competing weak localization and weak antilocalization in ultrathin topological insulators.
We demonstrate evidence of a surface gap opening in topological insulator (TI) thin films of (Bi(0.57)Sb(0.43))(2)Te(3) below six quintuple layers through transport and scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements. By effective tuning the Fermi level via gate-voltage control, we unveil a striking competition between weak localization and weak antilocalization at low magnetic fields in nonmagnet...
متن کاملDisordered weak and strong topological insulators.
A global phase diagram of disordered weak and strong topological insulators is established numerically. As expected, the location of the phase boundaries is renormalized by disorder, a feature recognized in the study of the so-called topological Anderson insulator. Here, we report unexpected quantization, i.e., robustness against disorder of the conductance peaks on these phase boundaries. Anot...
متن کاملBound states of conical singularities in graphene-based topological insulators.
We investigate the electronic structure induced by wedge disclinations (conical singularities) in a honeycomb lattice model realizing Chern numbers γ = ± 1. We establish a correspondence between the bound state of (i) an isolated Φ(0)/2 flux, (ii) an isolated pentagon (n = 1) or heptagon (n = -1) defect with an external flux of magnitude nγΦ(0)/4 through the center, and (iii) an isolated square...
متن کاملBound States and Supercriticality in Graphene-Based Topological Insulators
We study the bound state spectrum and the conditions for entering a supercritical regime in graphene with strong intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit interactions within the topological insulator phase. Explicit results are provided for a disk-shaped potential well and for the Coulomb center problem.
متن کاملBloch–Zener Oscillations in Graphene and Topological Insulators
We show that superlattices based on zero-gap semiconductors such as graphene and mercury telluride exhibit characteristic Bloch–Zener oscillations that emerge from the coherent superposition of Bloch oscillations and multiple Zener tunneling between the electron and hole branch. We demonstrate this mechanism by means of wave packet dynamics in various spatially periodically modulated nanoribbon...
