Coexistence of the topological state and a two-dimensional electron gas on the surface of Bi2Se3
Open accessAbstract
The surface of a topological insulator plays host to an odd number of linearly-dispersing Dirac fermions, protected against back-scattering by time-reversal symmetry. Such characteristics make these materials attractive not only for studying a range of fundamental phenomena in both condensed matter and particle physics, but also for applications ranging from spintronics to quantum computation. Here, we show that the single Dirac cone comprising the topological state of the prototypical topological insulator Bi(2)Se(3) can co-exist with a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), a cornerstone of conventional electronics. Creation of the 2DEG is tied to a surface band-bending effect, which should be general for narrow-gap topological insulators. This leads to the unique situation where a topological and a non-topological, easily tunable and potentially superconducting, metallic state are confined to the same region of space.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
