Topological delocalization and tuning of surface channel separation in Bi2Se2Te Topological Insulator Thin films

Abstract The surface states of a 3D topological insulator (TI) exhibit topological protection against backscattering. However, the contribution of bulk electrons to the transport data is an impediment to the topological protection of surface states. We report the tuning of the chemical potential in...
