Sn-doped Bi1.1Sb0.9Te2S bulk crystal topological insulator with excellent properties.
A long-standing issue in topological insulator research has been to find a bulk single crystal material that provides a high-quality platform for characterizing topological surface states without interference from bulk electronic states. This material would ideally be a bulk insulator, have a surface state Dirac point energy well isolated from the bulk valence and conduction bands, display quan...
متن کاملRealization of tunable Dirac cone and insulating bulk states in topological insulators (Bi1−xSbx)2Te3
The bulk-insulating topological insulators with tunable surface states are necessary for applications in spintronics and quantum computation. Here we present theoretical evidence for modulating the topological surface states and achieving the insulating bulk states in solid-solution (Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(2)Te(3). Our results reveal that the band inversion occurs in (Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(2)Te(3), indicating t...
متن کاملWeak 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 کاملA natural topological insulator.
The earth's crust and outer space are rich sources of technologically relevant materials which have found application in a wide range of fields. Well-established examples are diamond, one of the hardest known materials, or graphite as a suitable precursor of graphene. The ongoing drive to discover novel materials useful for (opto)electronic applications has recently drawn strong attention to to...
متن کاملTopological insulator nanostructures
© 2014 Materials Research Society MRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 39 • OCTOBER 2014 • www.mrs.org/bulletin Introduction Topological insulators (TIs) are a class of materials where the bulk is a band insulator, but the surface possesses electronic states carrying electric current. 1 , 2 One unique characteristic of the surface bands is the spin-momentum locking property—electrons have a single spin state ...
