Impact of Ultrathin Pb Films on the Topological Surface and Quantum-Well States of Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} and Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} Topological Insulators

Journal Article Surnin, Yu. A., E-mail: yuri-surnin-365@mail.ru ; Klimovskikh, I. I. ; Sostina, D. M. ; ... - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The effect of an ultrathin Pb film deposited on the surface of Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} and Sb{sub 2}Te{sub 3} compounds on the electronic state structure of topological insulators is studied experimentally by the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) technique. The following features are revealed: formation of two-dimensional quantum-well states in the near-surface region, an increase in the binding energy of the Dirac cone and the core levels, and a simultaneous electronic states intensity redistribution in the system in photoemission spectra. The results obtained show that topological states may coexist at the interface between studied materials and a superconductor, which seems tomore »« less

Emergent and Tunable Topological Surface States in Complementary Sb/Bi ₂ Te ₃ and Bi ₂ Te ₃ /Sb Thin-Film Heterostructures

Journal Article Li, Yao ; Bowers, John W. ; Hlevyack, Joseph A. ; ... - ACS Nano

Epitaxial thin-film heterostructures offer a versatile platform for realizing topological surface states (TSSs) that may be emergent and/or tunable by tailoring the atomic layering in the heterostructures. Here, as an experimental demonstration, Sb and Bi2Te3 thin films with closely matched inplane lattice constants are chosen to form two complementary heterostructures: Sb overlayers on Bi₂Te₃ (Sb/Bi₂Te₃) and Bi₂Te₃ overlayers on Sb (Bi₂Te₃/Sb), with the overlayer thickness as a tuning parameter. In the bulk form, Sb (a semimetal) and Bi₂Te₃ (an insulator) both host TSSs with the same topological order but substantially different decay lengths and dispersions, whereas ultrathin Sb and Bi₂Te₃more »« less

Electron–Hole Asymmetry of Surface States in Topological Insulator Sb₂Te₃ Thin Films Revealed by Magneto-Infrared Spectroscopy

Journal Article Jiang, Yuxuan ; Asmar, Mahmoud M. ; Han, Xingyue ; ... - Nano Letters

When surface states (SSs) form in topological insulators (TIs), they inherit the properties of bulk bands, including the electron–hole (e–h) asymmetry but with much more profound impacts. Here via combining magneto-infrared spectroscopy with theoretical analysis, we show that e–h asymmetry significantly modifies the SS electronic structures when interplaying with the quantum confinement effect. Compared with the case without e–h asymmetry, the SSs now bear not only a band asymmetry, such as that in the bulk, but also a shift of the Dirac point relative to the bulk bands and a reduction of the hybridization gap of up to 70%.
