We report the strong experimental evidence of the existence of topological surface states with large electric field tunability and mobility in beta-Ag2Te. Pronounced 2D SdH oscillations have been observed in beta-Ag2Te nanoplates. A Berry phase is determined to be near pi using the Landau level fan diagram for a relatively wide nanoplate while the largest electric field ambipolar effect in topological insulator so far (~ 2500%) in a narrow nanoplate. The pi Berry phase and the evolution of quantum oscillations with gate voltage (Vg) in the nanoplates strongly indicate the presence of topological surface states in beta-Ag2Te. Moreover, the mobility of the narrow Ag2Te nanoplate is ~ 3x10^4 cm^2s^-1V^-1 when the Fermi level is near the Dirac point. The realization of topological surface states with large electrical tunability and high mobility indicates that beta-Ag2Te is a promising topological insulator for fundamental studies.
We present evidence of topological surface states in beta-Ag2Te through first-principles calculations and periodic quantum interference effect in single crystalline nanoribbon. Our first-principles calculations show that beta-Ag2Te is a topological i
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
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
The non-trivial topology of the three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) dictates the appearance of gapless Dirac surface states. Intriguingly, when a 3D TI is made into a nanowire, a gap opens at the Dirac point due to the quantum confineme
We investigate adiabatic quantum pumping of Dirac fermions on the surface of a strong 3D topological insulator. Two different geometries are studied in detail, a normal metal -- ferromagnetic -- normal metal (NFN) junction and a ferromagnetic -- norm
