Measurement of an Exceptionally Weak Electron-Phonon Coupling on the Surface of the Topological Insulator Bi[subscript 2]Se[subscript 3] Using Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

Gapless surface states on topological insulators are protected from elastic scattering on nonmagnetic impurities which makes them promising candidates for low-power electronic applications. However, for widespread applications, these states should have to remain coherent at ambient temperatures. Her...
