Topological Insulator Thin Films of Bi2Te3 with Controlled Electronic Structure
Topological insulator thin films of Bi2Te3 with controlled electronic structure can be grown by regulating the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth kinetics without any extrinsic doping. N- to p-type conversion results from the change in the concentrations of Te-Bi donors and Bi-Te acceptors. This represents a step toward controlling topological surface states, with potential applications in devices.
