Emergence of decoupled surface transport channels in bulk insulating Bi2Se3 thin films

摘要:

在理想的拓扑绝缘体(TI)膜中,体状态(其被认为是绝缘的)不应在两个金属表面之间提供任何电耦合。然而,现有的TI膜的运输研究表明,在相对的表面上的拓扑状态彼此电连接的厚度远远大于直接耦合限制的表面波函数重叠。在这里,我们表明,作为导电体通道被抑制,寄生耦合效应减小和去耦的表面通道出现理想的TI预期。在具有完全抑制的体态的Bi 2Se 3薄膜中,在~10 QL以下直接耦合的两个表面随着厚度的增加而逐渐隔离,并且在~20 QL以上完全解耦。在这样的平台上,现在可以实现其功能依赖于访问各个表面层而没有任何有害耦合效应的传输设备。

英文摘要:

In ideal topological insulator (TI) films the bulk state, which is supposed to be insulating, should not provide any electric coupling between the two metallic surfaces. However, transport studies on existing TI films show that the topological states on opposite surfaces are electrically tied to each other at thicknesses far greater than the direct coupling limit where the surface wavefunctions overlap. Here, we show that as the conducting bulk channels are suppressed, the parasitic coupling effect diminishes and the decoupled surface channels emerge as expected for ideal TIs. In Bi2Se3 thin films with fully suppressed bulk states, the two surfaces, which are directly coupled below ~10 QL, become gradually isolated with increasing thickness and are completely decoupled beyond ~20 QL. On such a platform, it is now feasible to implement transport devices whose functionality relies on accessing the individual surface layers without any deleterious coupling effects.
