摘要:

利用高质量的拓扑绝缘体(TI)Bi 2Se 3薄膜,我们报道了在很宽的厚度范围内与厚度无关的输运性质。当样品厚度从256变化到~8 QL(QL:五层,1 QL = ~1 nm)时,电导保持标称恒定。确定了两个非常不同的行为的表面通道。其中一个通道的面载流子密度保持不变,约为3.0 x 10^13 cm^-2,直到2 QL,而另一个通道表现出量子振荡,仅在约8 QL时保持不变,约为8 x 10^12 cm^-2。弱反定域化参数也表现出类似的厚度无关性。这两个通道分别与拓扑表面态和表面积累层最一致。

英文摘要:

With high quality topological insulator (TI) Bi2Se3 thin films, we report thickness-independent transport properties over wide thickness ranges. Conductance remained nominally constant as the sample thickness changed from 256 to ~8 QL (QL: quintuple layer, 1 QL = ~1 nm). Two surface channels of very different behaviors were identified. The sheet carrier density of one channel remained constant at ~3.0 x 10^13 cm^-2 down to 2 QL, while the other, which exhibited quantum oscillations, remained constant at ~8 x 10^12 cm^-2 only down to ~8 QL. The weak antilocalization parameters also exhibited similar thickness-independence. These two channels are most consistent with the topological surface states and the surface accumulation layers, respectively.
