Metallic conduction through van der Waals interfaces in ultrathin $$\hbox{Bi}_2\hbox{Te}_3$$ Bi 2 Te 3 films
Abstract While the van der Waals (vdW) interface in layered materials hinders the transport of charge carriers in the vertical direction, it serves a good horizontal conduction path. We have investigated electrical conduction of few quintuple-layer (QL) $$\hbox {Bi}_2\hbox {Te}_3$$ Bi 2 Te 3 films b...
