Description for Optical Properties of Bismuth-Based Topological Insulators
paperback. This book examines the low energy optical conductivity of TIs to distinguish the extrinsic charge contribution of the bulk from the intrinsic contribution of the surface state carriers. Describes apparatus, methods, sample preparation and analysis procedures. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 129 pages, 42 black & white illustrations, 36 colour illustrations, 4 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: PNFS; TGMT; TJFD5. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 7. Weight in Grams: 215.
Topological Insulators (TIs) are insulators in the bulk, but have exotic metallic states at their surfaces. The topology, associated with the electronic wavefunctions of these systems, changes when passing from the bulk to the surface. This work studies, by means of infrared spectroscopy, the low energy optical conductivity of Bismuth based TIs in order to identify the extrinsic charge contribution of the bulk and to separate it from the intrinsic contribution of the surface state carriers. The extensive results presented in this thesis definitely shows the 2D character of the carriers in Bismuth-based topological insulators. The experimental apparatus and the FTIR technique, the theory ... Read more
