Here we demonstrate the Shubnikov de Haas oscillation in high-quality Cd3As2 nanowires grown by a chemical vapor deposition approach. The dominant transport of topological Dirac fermions is evident by the nontrivial Berry phase in the…
We employed first-principles calculations to investigate the thermoelectric transport properties of the compound As$_2$Se$_3$. Early experiments and calculations have indicated that these properties are controlled by a kind of native defect…
In the recently discovered class of materials known as topological insulators, the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling causes certain topological invariants in the bulk to differ from their values in vacuum. The sudden change of…
We report the study of a novel linear magneto-resistance (MR) under perpendicular magnetic fields in Bi2Se3 nanoribbons. Through angular dependence magneto-transport experiments, we show that this linear MR is purely due to two-dimensional…
Spatial confinement of electronic topological surface states (TSS) in topological insulators poses a formidable challenge because TSS are protected by time-reversal symmetry. In previous works formation of a gap in the electronic spectrum…
The optical conductivity and the spectral weight of four topological insulators with increasing chemical compensation (Bi2Se3, Bi2-xCaxSe3, Bi2Se2Te, Bi2Te2Se) have been measured from 5 to 300 K and from sub-THz to visible frequencies. The…
The newly-discovered three-dimensional strong topological insulators (STIs) exhibit topologically-protected Dirac surface states. While the STI surface state has been studied spectroscopically by e.g. photoemission and scanned probes,…
Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is one of the most promising topological insulators, but it suffers from intrinsic n-doping due to Se-vacancies, which shifts the Fermi level into the bulk conduction band, leading to topologically trivial carriers. Recently it…
Bi$_2$Se$_3$, a layered three dimensional (3D) material, exhibits topological insulating properties due to presence of surface states and a band gap of 0.3 eV in the bulk. We study the effect hydrostatic pressure $P$ and doping with rare…
Topological insulators represent a new state of quantum matter attractive to both fundamental physics and technological applications such as spintronics and quantum information processing. In a topological insulator, the bulk energy gap is…
We have performed magneto-transport and high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on palladium (Pd) doped topological insulator Pd$_{x}$Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ (0 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 0.20) single crystals. We have…
In the doped topological insulator Sr$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$, a pronounced in-plane two-fold symmetry is observed in electronic properties below the superconducting transition temperature $T_c \sim$ 3 K, despite the three-fold symmetry of the…
Thermoelectric performance is of interest for numerous applications such as waste heat recovery and solid state energy conversion, and will be seen to be closely connected to topological insulator behavior. In this context we here report…
Three dimensional topological insulator bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) is expected to possess strong spin-orbit coupling and spin-textured topological surface states, and thus exhibit a high charge to spin current conversion efficiency. We…
Combining the ability to prepare high-quality, intrinsic Bi$_2$Te$_3$ topological insulator thin films of low carrier density with in-situ protective capping, we demonstrate a pronounced, gate-tunable change in transport properties of…
Ultrafast carrier dynamics in the topological insulator Bi2Se3 have recently been intensively studied using a variety of techniques. However, we are not aware of any successful experiments exploiting transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy…
The electronic structure and the physical properties of quantum materials can be significantly altered by charge carrier doping and magnetic state transition. Here we report a discovery of a giant and reversible electronic structure…
We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study non-trivial surface state in psuedobinary Bi2Se0.6Te2.3 topological insulator. We show that unlike previously studied binaries, this is an intrinsic topological insulator with…
The recent-discovered Sr$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ superconductor provides an alternative and ideal material base for investigating possible topological superconductivity. Here, we report that in Sr$_{0.065}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_3$, the ambient…
The nonlinear Hall effect due to Berry curvature dipole (BCD) induces frequency doubling, which was recently observed in time-reversal-invariant materials. Here we report novel electric frequency doubling in the absence of BCD on a surface…
