We report the composition and gate voltage induced tuning of transport properties in chemically synthesized Bi2(Te1-xSex)3 nanoribbons. It is found that increasing Se concentration effectively suppresses the bulk carrier transport and…
We have studied the magnetotransport properties of the metallic, p-type Sb2Te2Se which is a topological insulator. Magnetoresistance shows Shubnikov de Haas oscillations in fields above B=15 T. The maxima/minima positions of oscillations…
Topological insulators represent novel phases of quantum matter with an insulating bulk gap and gapless edges or surface states. The two-dimensional topological insulator phase was predicted in HgTe quantum wells and confirmed by transport…
Bi2Se3 is theoretically predicted1 2and experimentally observed2,3 to be a three dimensional topological insulator. For possible applications, it is important to understand the electronic structure of the planar device. In this work,…
Bi2Se3 is a topological insulator with metallic surface states residing in a large bulk bandgap. It is believed that Bi2Se3 gets additional n-type doping after exposure to atmosphere, thereby reducing the relative contribution of surface…
The bulk of topological insulators is relatively unexplored due to excess contribution of conduction from native defects. Here we investigate the bulk conduction in a Bi2Te3 crystal having reduced defect induced conduction. Our results…
Magneto resistance measurements coupled with positron lifetime measurements, to characterize the vacancy type defects, have been carried out on the topological insulator (TI) system Bi2Se3, of varying Se/Bi ratio. Pronounced Shubnikov de…
Due to high density of native defects, the prototypical topological insulator (TI), Bi$_2$Se$_3$, is naturally n-type. Although Bi$_2$Se$_3$ can be converted into p-type by substituting 2+ ions for Bi, only light elements such as Ca have…
Electronic transport experiments involving the topologically protected states found at the surface of Bi2Se3 and other topological insulators require fine control over carrier density, which is challenging with existing bulk-doped material.…
The growth and elementary properties of p-type Bi2Se3 single crystals are reported. Based on a hypothesis about the defect chemistry of Bi2Se3, the p-type behavior has been induced through low level substitutions (1 percent or less) of Ca…
A nematic topological superconductor has an order parameter symmetry, which spontaneously breaks the crystalline symmetry in its superconducting state. This state can be observed, for example, by thermodynamic or upper critical field…
Topologically protected surface states have garnered significant attention due to their robustness against perturbations and potential applications in optoelectronics. Bi2 Bi2Se3 is a topological semimetal composed of a 2D bismuthene sheet…
Single-crystalline \beta-Ag2Se nanostructures, a new class of 3D topological insulators (TIs), were synthesized using the chemical vapor transport method. The topological surface states were verified by measuring electronic transport…
Topological superconductivity is the quantum condensate of paired electrons with an odd parity of the pairing function. One of the candidates is the triplet pairing superconductor derived from topological insulator Bi2Se3 by chemical…
Spontaneous rotational-symmetry breaking in the superconducting state of doped $\mathrm{Bi}_2\mathrm{Se}_3$ has attracted significant attention as an indicator for topological superconductivity. In this paper, high-resolution calorimetry of…
We report a topological semimetal W2As3 with a space group C2/m. Based on the first-principles calculations, band crossings are partially gapped when spin-orbit coupling is included. The Z2 indices at the electron filling are [1;111],…
We study magnetotransport in a rare earth doped topological insulator, Sm0.1Sb1.9Te3 single crystals, under magnetic fields up to 14 T. It is found that that the crystals exhibit Shubnikov de Haas oscillations in their magneto-transport…
We have investigated the transport properties of topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films grown using magnetron sputtering with an emphasis on understanding the behavior as a function of thickness. We show that thickness has a strong…
We report an unexpected positive hydrostatic pressure derivative of the superconducting transition temperature in the doped topological insulator \NBS via $dc$ SQUID magnetometry in pressures up to 0.6 GPa. This result is contrary to…
Bi2Se3 is a prototypical topological insulator which has a small band gap (~0.3 eV) and topologically protected conducting surface states. This material exhibits quite strong thermoelectric effects. Here we show in a mechanically exfoliated…
