Control over topological insulator photocurrents with light polarization

Three-dimensional topological insulators (1-3) represent a new quantum phase of matter with spin-polarized surface states (4,5) that are protected from backscattering. The static electronic properties of these surface states have been comprehensively imaged by both photoemission (4-8) and tunneling...
