Topological materials have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical attention. They exhibit strong spin-orbit coupling both in the band structure (intrinsic) and in the impurity potentials (extrinsic), although the latter is…
The development of ferromagnetism in Mn-doped Bi2Te3 is characterized through measurements on a series of single crystals with different Mn content. Scanning tunneling microscopy analysis shows that the Mn substitutes on the Bi sites,…
Magnetic interaction with the gapless surface states in topological insulator (TI) has been predicted to give rise to a few exotic quantum phenomena. However, the effective magnetic doping of TI is still challenging in experiment. Using…
Atomically thin layers of transition-metal dicalcogenides (TMDCs) are often known to be metastable in the ambient atmosphere. Understanding the mechanism of degradation is essential for their future applications in nanoelectronics, and thus…
Absence of backscattering and occurrence of weak anti-localization are two characteristic features of topological insulators. We find that the introduction of defects results in the appearance of a negative contribution to magnetoresistance…
A change in a materials electrical resistance with magnetic field (magnetoresistance) results from quantum interference effects and, or spin-dependent transport, depending on materials properties and dimensionality. In disordered…
The gapped Dirac-like surface states of compensated magnetic topological insulator MnBi$_{2-x}$Sb$_x$Te$_4$ (MBST) are a promising host for exotic quantum phenomena such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect and axion insulating states.…
A combined experimental and theoretical study of doping individual Fe atoms into Bi2Se3 is presented. It is shown through a scanning tunneling microscopy study that single Fe atoms initially located at hollow sites on top of the surface…
The effect of electron doping by trivalent charge state rare-earth ion (RE = La, Ce, Pr, and Nd) substitutions on the superconductivity in BaFe2As2 was examined using epitaxial films. Each of the RE substitutions suppressed the resistivity…
We present low-temperature transport measurements of a gate-tunable thin film topological insulator system that features high mobility and low carrier density. Upon gate tuning to a regime around the charge neutrality point, we infer an…
The magnetic, magneto-transport and ARPES studies of Fe and S co-doped Bi2Se3 were investigated. With doping concentration magneto-resistance (MR) gradually decreases and for a certain doping concentration giant negative MR is observed…
In this report, we present the magnetotransport and magnetization properties of LaSbTe single crystals. Magnetic field-induced turn-on behavior and low-temperature resistivity plateau have been observed. By adopting both metal-semiconductor…
Recently, a logarithmic decrease of conductivity has been observed in topological insulators at low temperatures, implying a tendency of localization of surface electrons. Here, we report quantum transport experiments on the topological…
Study and comparison of over 30 examples of electron doped BaFe2As2 for transition metal (TM) = Co, Ni, Cu, and (Co/Cu mixtures) have lead to an understanding that the suppression of the structural/antiferromagnetic phase transition to low…
We report c-axis transport studies on magnetic topological insulators Mn(Bi1-xSbx)2Te4. We performed systematic c-axis magnetoresistivity measurements under high magnetic fields (up to 35 T) on several representative samples. We find the…
Doped Iron Chalcogenide (FeCh) superconductors are extensively studied in the context of topological superconductivity. However, the evidence of topological surface states in electrical transport measurements of the doped FeCh system is yet…
We present direct evidence for the contribution of local orbital moments to the damping of magnetization precession in magnetic thin films. Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) characterization of rare-earth (RE) M$_{4,5}$ edges…
Quantum transport in magnetic topological insulators reveals the strong interplay between the magnetism and topology of electronic band structures. A recent experiment on magnetically doped topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films showed the…
We grew single-crystal thin films of a topological crystalline insulator (TCI) SnTe with a smooth surface at the atomic scale by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In the magnetoresistance (MR) measurement, we observed both positive and negative…
Anderson localization, the absence of diffusive transport in disordered systems, has been manifested as hopping transport in numerous electronic systems, whereas in recently discovered topological insulators it has not been directly…
