Tuning the Dirac point position in Bi(2)Se(3)(0001) via surface carbon doping.

چکیده
Angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy in combination with ab initio calculations show that trace amounts of carbon doping of the Bi_{2}Se_{3} surface allows the controlled shift of the Dirac point within the bulk band gap. In contrast to expectation, no Rashba-split two-dimensional electron gas states appear. This unique electronic modification is related to surface structural modification characterized by an expansion of the top Se-Bi spacing of ≈11% as evidenced by surface x-ray diffraction. Our results provide new ways to tune the surface band structure of topological insulators.

Simultaneous magnetic and charge doping of topological insulators with carbon.
A two-step doping process, magnetic followed by charge or vice versa, is required to produce massive topological surface states (TSS) in topological insulators for many physics and device applications. Here, we demonstrate simultaneous magnetic and hole doping achieved with a single dopant, carbon, in Bi2Se3 by first-principles calculations. Carbon substitution for Se (C(Se)) results in an open...
متن کاملAir-stable electron depletion of Bi(2)Se(3) using molybdenum trioxide into the topological regime.
We perform high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy on in situ cleaved topological insulator Bi2Se3 single crystals and in situ transport measurements on Bi2Se3 films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We demonstrate efficient electron depletion of Bi2Se3 via vacuum deposition of molecular MoO3, lowering the surface Fermi energy to within ∼100 meV of the Dirac point, well into the topological r...
متن کاملQuasiparticle dynamics in reshaped helical Dirac cone of topological insulators.
Topological insulators and graphene present two unique classes of materials, which are characterized by spin-polarized (helical) and nonpolarized Dirac cone band structures, respectively. The importance of many-body interactions that renormalize the linear bands near Dirac point in graphene has been well recognized and attracted much recent attention. However, renormalization of the helical Dir...
متن کاملAuxiliary Material for EPAPS: Measurement of intrinsic Dirac fermion cooling on the surface of a topological insulator Bi2Se3 using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
Two types of single crystal Bi2Se3 samples are prepared which allow us to span the surface doping range investigated in the main text. For the high doping level samples where ED = 0.28 eV below EF , stoichiometric mixture of Bi and Se are used. And for the low doping level samples where ED = 0.06 eV, the initial mixture of Bi:Se = 2:4.06 are used. ED in between these two levels are tuned throug...
متن کاملFew-layer nanoplates of Bi 2 Se 3 and Bi 2 Te 3 with highly tunable chemical potential.
A topological insulator (TI) represents an unconventional quantum phase of matter with insulating bulk band gap and metallic surface states. Recent theoretical calculations and photoemission spectroscopy measurements show that group V-VI materials Bi(2)Se(3), Bi(2)Te(3), and Sb(2)Te(3) are TIs with a single Dirac cone on the surface. These materials have anisotropic, layered structures, in whic...
