CSIC ORCID; Okuda, Taichi; Kimura, A. | Fecha de publicación: | 2018 | Editor: | American Physical Society | Citación: | Physical Review Materials 2(10): 104201 (2018) | Resumen: | Topological insulators (TIs) with an inverted bulk band and a strong spin-orbit coupling exhibit gapless topological surface states (TSSs) protected by time-reversal symmetry. Helical spin textures driven by spin-momentum locking offer the opportunity to generate spin-polarized currents and therefore TIs are expected to be used for future spintronic applications. For practical applications TIs are urgently required that are operable at room temperature due to a wide bulk band gap as well as a distinct topological surface state that is robust to atmospheric exposure. Here we show two distinguishable TSSs originating from different terminations on PbBi4Te4S3 by using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find that one TSS is persistently observed, while the other becomes invisible upon intentional oxygen exposure. The result signifies the presence of a protected TSS buried under the topmost surface. Our finding paves the way for realizing a topological spintronics device under atmospheric conditions. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.2.104201 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/244587 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.2.104201 | E-ISSN: | 2475-9953 |
