Abstract

We report measurements of the surface Shubnikov de Haas oscillations (SdH) on crystals of the topological insulator Bi2_2Te2_2Se. In crystals with large bulk resistivity (\sim4 Ω\Omegacm at 4 K), we observe \sim15 surface SdH oscillations (to the nn = 1 Landau Level) in magnetic fields BB up to 45 Tesla. Extrapolating to the limit 1/B01/B\to 0, we confirm the 12\frac12-shift expected from a Dirac spectrum. The results are consistent with a very small surface Lande gg-factor.
