Transport in gapped topological surface states
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Three-dimensional topological insulators feature two-dimensional metallic surface states. These surface states are protected by the topological nature of the insulating bulk, meaning they must remain gapless present even when the surface is perturbed by, for example, disorder. Topological protection, however, has limits. Perturbations that affect the topological description of a system can open a gap in its surface states. Using electronic transport measurements of devices based on the topological insulator Sb2Te3, this thesis explores three such perturbations.
