Effects of impurity adsorption on topological surface states of Bi2Te3
2017
Electronic structures of Bi 2 Te 3 with adsorption of Rb, In, Ga and Au atoms are studied by using the first-principle method, focusing on the effect of non-magnetic impurities on the topologically protected surface states. Upon monolayer formation, the bulk conduction band is moved down to the Fermi level with a significant Rashba splitting due to n -doping behavior with band modification details depending on the adatom chemistry. Our study shows the robustness of the intrinsic spin-momentum coupled surface band and emergence of a new similar one, which could provide helpful insight for developing novel spintronic devices.
