Topological insulators with their topological protected surface states are highly promising quantum materials. In this article the micro-flakes of single-crystalline topological insulators Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 are explored through physical parameter measurement at low temperatures and thereby the charge carrier dynamics are investigated at 5K to study the various optical transitions related to these surface states. The magnetoresistance is experimentally investigated at temperatures of 5K and 100K for a field range of 1Tesla. The occurrence of the weak anti-localization effect predicts the presence of topologically protected surface states in the systems. Further, the ultrafast femtosecond transient reflectance spectroscopy is performed at different temperatures, varying from a room temperature (300K) to a low temperature of 5K, to find the TSS related transitions at low temperatures.
