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/minima positions of oscillations measured at different tilt angles with respect to the B direction align with the normal component of field Bcosine, implying the existence of a 2D Fermi surface in Sb2Te2Se. The value of the Berry phase 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 of the Fermi level is found to be EF =250 meV, above the Dirac point. This value of EF is almost 3 times as large as that in our previous study on the Bi2Se2:1Te0:9 topological insulator; however, it still touches the tip of the bulk valence band. This explains the metallic behavior and hole-like bulk charge carriers in the Sb2Te2Se compound.

Topological insulator nanoribbons (TI NRs) provide a useful platform to explore the phase-coherent quantum electronic transport of topological surface states, which is crucial for the development of topological quantum devices. When applied with an a
xial magnetic field, the TI NR exhibits magnetoconductance (MC) oscillations with a flux period of h/e, i.e., Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations, and h/2e, i.e., Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak (AAS) oscillations. Herein, we present an extensive study of the AB and AAS oscillations in Sb doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$ TI NR as a function of the gate voltage, revealing phase-alternating topological AB oscillations. Moreover, the ensemble-averaged fast Fourier transform analysis on the Vg dependent MC curves indicates the suppression of the quantum interference oscillation amplitudes near the Dirac point, which is attributed to the suppression of the phase coherence length within the low carrier density region. The weak antilocalization analysis on the perpendicular MC curves confirms the idea of the suppressed coherence length near the Dirac point in the TI NR.
As personal electronic devices increasingly rely on cloud computing for energy-intensive calculations, the power consumption associated with the information revolution is rapidly becoming an important environmental issue. Several approaches have been
proposed to construct electronic devices with low energy consumption. Among these, the low-dissipation surface states of topological insulators (TIs) are widely employed. To develop TI-based devices, a key factor is the maximum temperature at which the Dirac surface states dominate the transport behavior. Here, we employ Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations (SdH) as a means to study the surface state survival temperature in a high quality vanadium doped Bi1.08Sn0.02Sb0.9Te2S single crystal system. The temperature and angle dependence of the SdH show that: 1) crystals with different vanadium (V) doping levels are insulating in the 3-300 K region, 2) the SdH oscillations show two-dimensional behavior, indicating that the oscillations arise from the pure surface states; and 3) at 50 K, the V0.04 single crystals (Vx:Bi1.08-xSn0.02Sb0.9Te2S, where x = 0.04) still show clear sign of SdH oscillations, which demonstrate that the surface dominant transport behavior can survive above 50 K. The robust surface states in our V doped single crystal systems provide an ideal platform to study the Dirac fermions and their interaction with other materials above 50 K.
We report a continuous phase transition between quantum-anomalous-Hall and trivial-insulator phases in a magnetic topological insulator upon magnetization rotation. The Hall conductivity transits from one plateau of quantized Hall conductivity $e^2/h
$ to the other plateau of zero Hall conductivity. The transition curves taken at various temperatures cross almost at a single point, exemplifying the critical behavior of the transition. The slope of the transition curves follows a power-law temperature dependence with a critical exponent of $-0.61$. This suggests a common underlying origin in the plateau transitions between the QAH and quantum Hall systems, which is a percolation of one-dimensional chiral edge channels.
The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state is a two-dimensional bulk insulator with a non-zero Chern number in absence of external magnetic fields. Protected gapless chiral edge states enable dissipationless current transport in electronic devices. Dopin
g topological insulators with random magnetic impurities could realize the QAH state, but magnetic order is difficult to establish experimentally in the bulk insulating limit. Here we predict that the single quintuple layer of GdBiTe3 film could be a stoichiometric QAH insulator based on ab-initio calculations, which explicitly demonstrate ferromagnetic order and chiral edge states inside the bulk gap. We further investigate the topological quantum phase transition by tuning the lattice constant and interactions. A simple low-energy effective model is presented to capture the salient physical feature of this topological material.
Combining magnetism and nontrivial band topology gives rise to quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators and exotic quantum phases such as the QAH effect where current flows without dissipation along quantized edge states. Inducing magnetic order in to
pological insulators via proximity to a magnetic material offers a promising pathway towards achieving QAH effect at high temperature for lossless transport applications. One promising architecture involves a sandwich structure comprising two single layers of MnBi2Te4 (a 2D ferromagnetic insulator) with ultra-thin Bi2Te3 in the middle, and is predicted to yield a robust QAH insulator phase with a bandgap well above thermal energy at room temperature (25 meV). Here we demonstrate the growth of a 1SL MnBi2Te4 / 4QL Bi2Te3 /1SL MnBi2Te4 heterostructure via molecular beam epitaxy, and probe the electronic structure using angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. We observe strong hexagonally warped massive Dirac Fermions and a bandgap of 75 meV. The magnetic origin of the gap is confirmed by the observation of broken time reversal symmetry and the exchange-Rashba effect, in excellent agreement with density functional theory calculations. These findings provide insights into magnetic proximity effects in topological insulators, that will move lossless transport in topological insulators towards higher temperature.
