Engineering near-surface electron states in three-dimensional topological insulators
DOI: 10.7868/S0370274X13220050
Abstract
Using the continual model of a semi-infinite three dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) we study the effect of the surface potential (SP) on the formation of helical topological states near the surface. The results reveal that spatial profile and spectrum of these states strongly depend on the SP type and strength. We pay special attention to the 3D TI substrate/non-magnetic insulating overlayer system to illustrate the principles of the topological near-surface states engineering.
