Quantum anomalous Hall effect and a nontrivial spin-texture in ultra-thin films of magnetic topological insulators

Journal Article Duong, Le Quy ; Das, Tanmoy ; Feng, Y. P. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We study the evolution of quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect for a Z{sub 2} topological insulator (TI) thin films in a proximity induced magnetic phase by a realistic layered k·p model with interlayer coupling. We examine three different magnetic configurations in which ferromagnetic (FM) layer(s) is added either from one side (FM-TI), from both sides (FM-TI-FM), or homogeneously distributed (magnetically doped) in a TI slab. We map out the thickness-dependent topological phase diagram under various experimental conditions. The critical magnetic exchange energy for the emergence of QAH effect in the latter two cases decreases monotonically with increasing number of quintuplemore »« less

Record surface state mobility and quantum Hall effect in topological insulator thin films via interface engineering

Journal Article Koirala, Nikesh ; Han, Myung -Geun ; Brahlek, Matthew ; ... - Nano Letters

Material defects remain as the main bottleneck to the progress of topological insulators (TIs). In particular, efforts to achieve thin TI samples with dominant surface transport have always led to increased defects and degraded mobilities, thus making it difficult to probe the quantum regime of the topological surface states. Here, by utilizing a novel buffer layer scheme composed of an In₂Se₃/(Bi_0.5In_0.5)₂Se₃ heterostructure, we introduce a quantum generation of Bi₂Se₃ films with an order of magnitude enhanced mobilities than before. Furthermore, this scheme has led to the first observation of the quantum Hall effect in Bi₂Se₃.

Quantum-Hall to Insulator Transition in Ultra-Low-Carrier-Density Topological Insulator Films and a Hidden Phase of the Zeroth Landau Level

Journal Article Salehi, Maryam ; Shapourian, Hassan ; Rosen, Ilan Thomas ; ... - Advanced Materials

A key feature of the topological surface state under a magnetic field is the presence of the zeroth Landau level at the zero energy. Nonetheless, it is challenging to probe the zeroth Landau level due to large electron-hole puddles smearing its energy landscape. Furthermore, by developing ultra-low-carrier density topological insulator Sb₂Te₃ films, an extreme quantum limit of the topological surface state is reached and a hidden phase at the zeroth Landau level is uncovered. First, an unexpected quantum-Hall-to-insulator-transition near the zeroth Landau level is discovered. Then, through a detailed scaling analysis, it is found that this quantum-Hall-to-insulator-transition belongs to amore »« less

Ultrahigh sensitivity of anomalous Hall effect sensor based on Cr-doped Bi₂Te₃ topological insulator thin films

Journal Article Ni, Y. ; Zhang, Z. ; Nlebedim, I. C. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics

Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) was recently discovered in magnetic element-doped topological insulators (TIs), which promises low power consumption and high efficiency spintronics and electronics. This discovery broadens the family of Hall sensors. In this paper, AHE sensors based on Cr-doped Bi₂Te₃ topological insulator thin films are studied with two thicknesses (15 and 65 nm). It is found, in both cases, that ultrahigh Hall sensitivity can be obtained in Cr-doped Bi₂Te₃. Hall sensitivity reaches 1666 Ω/T in the sensor with the 15 nm TI thin film, which is higher than that of the conventional semiconductor HE sensor. The AHE of 65more »« less

Influence of Mn concentration on magnetic topological insulator Mn_xBi_2−xTe₃ thin-film Hall-effect sensor

Journal Article Ni, Y. ; Zhang, Z. ; Nlebedim, I. C. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics

Hall-effect (HE) sensors based on high-quality Mn-doped Bi₂Te₃ topological insulator (TI) thin films have been systematically studied in this paper. Improvement of Hall sensitivity is found after doping the magnetic element Mn into Bi₂Te₃. The sensors with low Mn concentrations, Mn_xBi_2-xTe₃, x = 0.01 and 0.08 show the linear behavior of Hall resistance with sensitivity about 5 Ω/T. And their Hall sensitivity shows weak dependence on temperature. For sensors with high Mn concentration (x = 0.23), the Hall resistance with respect to magnetic field shows a hysteretic behavior. Moreover, its sensitivity shows almost eight times as high as that ofmore »« less
