Ternary tetradymites Bi2Te2S, Bi2Te2Se and Bi2Se2Te are found to be stable, bulk topological insulators via theory, showing band inversion between group V and VI pz orbitals. We identify Bi2Se2Te as a good candidate to study massive Dirac…

In an ideal 3D topological insulator (TI), the bulk is insulating and the surface conducting due to the existence of metallic states that are localized on the surface; these are the topological surface states. Quaternary Bi-based compounds…
Topological insulators are new class of quantum materials, which have insulating energy gaps in bulk, but exhibit gapless edge states or surface states that are protected by time-reversal symmetry at boundary. It was theoretically predicted…
