We study local density of state (LDOS) oscillations arising from the scattering of electrons at atomic edge defects in topological insulator (TI) surfaces. To create edge scattering on the surface of a TI, we assume that half of its surface…
The eigenstates in the presence of a step defect (SD) along $x$ or y axis on the surface of topological insulators are exactly solved. It is shown that unlike the electronic states in conventional metals, the topological surface states…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies on high-quality Bi$_2$Te$_3$ crystals exhibit perfect correspondence to ARPES data, hence enabling identification of different regimes measured in the local density of states (LDOS). Oscillations of…
We propose a general theory on the standing waves (quasiparticle interference pattern) caused by the scattering of surface states off step edges in topological insulators, in which the extremal points on the constant energy contour of…
Motivated by recent scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on surfaces of Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x'}$\cite{yazdanistm,gomesstm} and Bi$_2$Te$_3$,\cite{kaptunikstm,xuestm} we theoretically study the electronic structure of a 3-dimensional (3D)…
We study theoretically by a quantum-mechanical approach the general scattering problem of a straight step defect on the surface of topological insulator $\mathrm{Bi}_{2}\mathrm{Te}_{3}$ with strong warping effect. At high energy where the…
Detailed study of the LDOS associated with the surface-state-band near a step-edge of the strong topological-insulator Bi2Te3, reveal a one-dimensional bound state that runs parallel to the stepedge and is bound to it at some characteristic…
The local electronic states around a single As (Te, Se) vacancy are investigated in order to shed light on the role of ligands in a series of iron-based superconductors. Such a vacancy can produce a local hopping correction ranging from…
The local density of states (LDOS) and its Fourier component induced by a unitary impurity in a supercurrent-carrying d-wave superconductor are investigated. Both of these quantities possess a reflection symmetry about the line passing…
Spontaneously broken symmetry in the ground state of Bi-based topological materials can lead to promising Topological superconductors, such as Cu-Bi2Se3, Sr-Bi2Se3 and Nb-Bi2Se3. In recent studies, coexistence of multiple Fermi surface…
We present a microscopic investigation of frequently observed impurity-induced states in stoichiometric LiFeAs using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS). Our data reveal seven distinct well defined…
We study the characteristics of scattering processes at step edges on the surfaces of Strong Topological Insulators (STI), arising from restrictions imposed on the $S$-matrix \emph{solely} by time reversal symmetry and translational…
In this paper we indicate a general method to calculate the power law that governs how electronic LDOS oscillations decay far away from a surface step edge (or any local linear barrier), in the energy range when only 2D surface states are…
The results of ultra-high vacuum low-temperature scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) of atomically clean (111) surface of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are presented. We observed several types of new…
The origin of the insulating state in 1T-TaS$_2$ has long been a subject of debate. A short current pulse transforms this insulating state into a metastable metallic phase. Using micro-ARPES, we investigate the electronic structure of this…
Using time-, spin- and angle-resolved photoemission, we investigate the ultrafast spin dynamics of hot electrons on the surface of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_3$ following optical excitation by fs-infrared pulses. We observe two…
Strong electron-hole interactions in a semimetal or narrow-gap semiconductor may drive a ground state of condensed excitons. Monolayer WTe2 has been proposed as a host material for such an exciton condensate, but the order parameter - the…
Hexagonally deformed Fermi surfaces and strong nesting, found in topological insulators (TIs) such as $Bi_2Se_3$ and $Bi_2Te_3$, have led to several predictions of the existence of Density Wave order in these systems. Recent evidence for…
Based on a Fermi liquid picture, the temperature effect on the impurity-induced spatial modulation of local density of states (LDOS) is investigated for the d-wave superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_8$, in the context of scanning…
We employed a scanning tunneling microscope to image the (001) surface topography and local density of states (LDOS) in La$_{2-2x}$Sr$_{1+2x}$Mn$_2$O$_7$ (x=0.32, LSMO) single crystals below the Curie temperature (T$_C$ = 120 K). The LDOS…
