Title: Simultaneous detection of quantum oscillations from bulk and topological surface states in metallic Bi₂Se_2.1Te_0.9

Abstract

Here, Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in metallic Bi₂Se_2.1Te_0.9 are studied in magnetic fields up to 35 Tesla. It is demonstrated that two characteristic frequencies determine the quantum oscillations of the conductivity. Angle dependent measurements and calculations of the Berry phase show that the two frequencies F₁ and F₂ describe oscillations from surface and bulk carriers, respectively. At low magnetic fields, only SdH oscillation from topological surface states can be detected whereas at high magnetic field the bulk oscillations dominate. The origin of the separation of bulk and surface SdH oscillations into different magnetic field ranges is revealed in the difference of the cyclotron masses m_c. The bulk m_c is nearly three times larger than the surface cyclotron mass resulting in a stronger attenuation of the bulk oscillation amplitude upon decreasing magnetic field. This makes it possible to detect and characterize the surface SdH oscillations in the low-field range and the bulk oscillations at high magnetic fields.

Large magnetoresistance and Fermi surface study of Sb₂Se₂Te single crystal

Journal Article Shrestha, K. ; Marinova, V. ; Graf, D. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Here, we have studied the magnetotransport properties of a Sb₂Se₂Te single crystal. Magnetoresistance (MR) is maximum when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the sample surface and reaches a value of 1100% at B = 31 T with no sign of saturation. MR shows Shubnikov de Haas (SdH) oscillations above B = 15 T. The frequency spectrum of SdH oscillations consists of three distinct peaks at α = 32 T, β = 80 T, and γ = 117 T indicating the presence of three Fermi surface pockets. Among these frequencies, β is the prominent peak in the frequency spectrum of SdH oscillations measured at different tilt angles of the sample with respect to the magnetic field. From the angle dependence β and Berry phase calculations, we have confirmed the trivial topology of the β-pocket. The cyclotron masses of charge carriers, obtained by using the Lifshitz–Kosevich formula, are found to be mmore »« less

Surface origin of quasi-2D Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 2}Se

Journal Article Kapustin, A. A., E-mail: kapustin@issp.ac.ru ; Stolyarov, V. S. ; Bozhko, S. I. ; ... - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

Transport measurements at liquid helium temperatures were done on a number of Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 2}Se samples with thicknesses ranging from 30 to 200 μm in order to detect surface states. In each sample we observed Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) oscillations and sublinear dependence of off-diagonal component of magnetoresistance tensor on magnetic field. The periods of SdH oscillations in inverse magnetic field were found to be the same within 15%. The positions of SdH oscillations are determined by the normal to surface component of magnetic field. We found that the measured conductivity can be well described by a model with two groupsmore »« less

Quantum oscillations in metallic ${Sb}_{2} {Te}_{2} Se$ topological insulator

Journal Article Shrestha, Keshav ; Marinova, V. ; Graf, D. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, we have studied the magnetotransport properties of the metallic, p-type Sb₂Te₂Se, which is a topological insulator. Magnetoresistance shows Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in fields above B = 15 T. The maxima and minima positions of oscillations measured at different tilt angles with respect to the B direction align with the normal component of field Bcosθ, implying the existence of a two-dimensional Fermi surface in Sb₂Te₂Se. The value of the Berry phase β determined from a Landau level fan diagram is very close to 0.5, further suggesting that the oscillations result from topological surface states. From Lifshitz-Kosevich analyses, the position ofmore »« less

Weak antilocalization effect due to topological surface states in Bi₂Se_2.1Te_0.9

Journal Article Shrestha, K. ; Graf, D. ; Marinova, V. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

In this work, we have investigated the weak antilocalization (WAL) effect in the p-type Bi₂Se_2.1Te_0.9 topological system. The magnetoconductance shows a cusp-like feature at low magnetic fields, indicating the presence of the WAL effect. The WAL curves measured at different tilt angles merge together when they are plotted as a function of the normal field components, showing that surface states dominate the magnetoconductance in the Bi₂Se_2.1Te_0.9 crystal. We have calculated magnetoconductance per conduction channel and applied the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka formula to determine the physical parameters that characterize the WAL effect.

Comparison of Sn-doped and nonstoichiometric vertical-Bridgman-grown crystals of the topological insulator Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 2}Se

Journal Article Kushwaha, S. K., E-mail: kushwaha@princeton.edu ; Gibson, Q. D. ; Cava, R. J. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A comparative study of the properties of topological insulator Bi{sub 2}Te{sub 2}Se (BTS) crystals grown by the vertical Bridgeman method is described. Two defect mechanisms that create acceptor impurities to compensate for the native n-type carriers are compared: Bi excess, and light Sn doping. Both methods yield low carrier concentrations and an n-p crossover over the length of the grown crystal boules, but lower carrier concentrations and higher resistivities are obtained for the Sn-doped crystals, which reach carrier concentrations as low as 8 × 10{sup 14} cm{sup −3}. Further, the temperature dependent resistivities for the Sn-doped crystals display strongly activated behavior at highmore »« less
