The formation of nanosized charge droplets in the bulk of a three-dimensional topological insulator
Bi1.08Sn0.02Sb0.9Te2S was evidenced using electron spin resonance. Since electrons and holes are “locked” in
these droplets far apart from each other, their participation in bulk conductivity is possible only due to thermal
activation or to variable range hopping. Our transport measurements give evidence that at relatively high
temperatures conduction follows the activation behavior with the activation energies which due to percolation
may be much smaller than the half of the band gap. We also demonstrate that the variable range hoping
replaces the activated transport at sufficiently low temperatures.

A nonuniform in-plane Zeeman field can induce spontaneous supercurrents of spin-orbit-coupled electrons in
superconducting two-dimensional systems and thin films. In this work it is shown that current vortices can be
created at the ends of a long homogeneously magnetized strip of a ferromagnetic insulator, which is deposited on
the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator. The s-wave superconductivity ...

Structural, magnetic and magnetotransport properties of (Bi1-xEux)2Se3 thin films have been studied experimentally as a function of Eu content. The films were synthesized by MBE. It is demonstrated that Eu distribution is not uniform, it enter quint-layers forming inside them plain (pancake-like) areas containing Eu atoms, which sizes and concentration increase with the growth of Eu content. Positive ...

Search for doped superconducting topological insulators is of prime importance for new quantum technologies. We report on fabrication of Sr-doped Bi2Te3 single crystals. We found that Bridgman grown samples have p-type conductivity in the low 10^19 cm^(−3), high mobility of 4000 cm^2*V^(−1)s^(−1), crystal structure independent on nominal dopant content, and no signs of superconductivity. We also studied molecular ...

A nonstationary anomalous Hall current is calculated for a voltage biased Josephson junction, which is composed of two s-wave superconducting contacts deposited on the top of a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI). A homogeneous Zeeman field was assumed at the surface of the TI. The problem has been considered within the ballistic approximation and on the ...

В работе исследовалась магнетопроводимость тонких пленок Bi2Se3 с защитным слоем Se, выра

обусловленная эффектом слабой антилокализации, так же как и осцилляции Шубникова–де Гааза в
больших полях, определяется только перпендикулярной к плоскости пленки компонентой магнитного

We explore a combined effect of hexagonal warping and a finite effective mass on both the tunneling density of electronic surface states and the structure of Landau levels of 3D topological insulators. We find the increasing warping to transform the square-root van Hove singularity into a logarithmic one. For moderate warping, an additional logarithmic singularity ...

We report preparation of nanoribbons (crossection ~ 250*25 nm2) by focused ion beam etching of single-crystalline Bi2Se3 and detailed measurements of their magnetoresistance at temperatures down to 4.2 K, magnetic field up to 9 T. In a magnetic field parallel to the axis of nanowire the magnetoresistance shows up oscillations. Surprisingly, the Fourier analysis shows ...

We consider Majorana zero modes in a Josephson junction on top of a topological insulator in transverse magnetic field. Majorana zero modes reside at periodically located nodes of Josephson vortices. We find that hybridization of these modes is prohibited by symmetries of the problem at vanishing chemical potential, which ensures better protection of zero modes ...

The low temperature (T < 5 K) electron spin resonance in topological Kondo insulator SmB6 is investigated. It is shown that spin relaxation time of the paramagnetic centers responsible for low temperature electron spin resonance in SmB6 is about ~ 10−8 s, which exceeds by five orders of magnitude the widely accepted spin and charge fluctuation time ~ 10−13 s in the homogeneous ...

Collective plasmon excitations in a helical electron liquid on the surface of strong three-dimensional topological insulator are considered. The properties and internal structure of these excitations are studied. Due to spin-momentum locking in helical liquid on a surface of topological insulator, the collective excitations should manifest themselves as coupled charge- and spin-density waves. ...

It is shown that the spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions result in phase shifts of Andreev-reflected
holes propagating at the surface of a topological insulator, or in Rashba spin-orbit-coupled two

We calculate the frequency-dependent shot noise in the edge states of a two-dimensional topological insulator coupled to a magnetic impurity with spin S = 1/2 of arbitrary anisotropy. If the anisotropy is absent, the noise is purely thermal at low frequencies, but tends to the Poisson noise of the full current I at high frequencies. If the interaction only ...

We provide topological classification of possible phases with the symmetry of the planar phase of superfluid He3. Compared to the B phase [class DIII in classification of A. Altland and M. R. Zirnbauer, Phys. Rev. B 55, 1142 (1997)], it has an additional symmetry, which modifies the topology. We analyze the topology in terms of ...

Hopping charge transport in amorphous semiconductors having spatially correlated exponential density of states has been considered. Average carrier velocity is exactly calculated for the quasi-equilibrium (nondispersive) transport regime. We suggest also a heuristic approach for the consideration of the carrier velocity for the non-equilibrium dispersive regime. ...

Materials that possess strong spin-orbit interaction have provoked great interest over the past few years, in
particular, in the actively developing field of quantum calculations. A topological insulator is a good example of
such a material. The topological insulator has high surface conductivity, whereas in the body it shows the properties
of an insulator, this being a purely ...

Weyl semimetal is a three-dimensional material with a conical spectrum near an even number of point nodes, where two bands touch each other. Here we study spectral properties of surface electron states in such a system. We show that the density of surface states possesses a logarithmic singularity for the energy to 0. It decreases ...

We investigate lateral p−n junctions, electrostatically defined in 14-nm-wide HgTe-based quantum wells (QWs) with inverted band structure. The p−n junction resistances are close to h/2e2, consistent with some previous experiments on 8–10nm QWs, and the current-voltage characteristics are highly linear, indicating the transport via ballistic helical edge states. Shot noise measurements are performed in order to further verify the underlying transport mechanism. We ...

Superconducting hybrid structures with topological order and induced magnetization offer a promising way to realize fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, the effect of the interplay between magnetization and the property of the topological insulator surface, otherwise known as spin-momentum locking on the superconducting proximity effect, still remains to be investigated.

The phase of quantum magneto-oscillations is often associated with the Berry phase and is widely used to
argue in favor of topological nontriviality of the system (Berry phase 2πn + π). Nevertheless, the experimentally
determined value may deviate from 2πn + π arbitrarily, therefore more care should be made analyzing the
phase of magneto-oscillations to distinguish trivial systems ...

We theoretically study the conductivity in arrays of metallic grains due to the variable-range multiple cotunneling of electrons with short-range (screened) Coulomb interaction. The system is supposed to be coupled to random stray charges in the dielectric matrix that are only loosely bounded to their spatial positions by elastic forces. The flexibility of the stray ...
