Protected topological surface states (TSS) with helically spin-polarized Dirac fermions (HSDF) are of high interest as a new state of quantum matter. Electronic bulk states in three-dimensional (3D) materials with TSS often mask the transport properties of HSDF. In recent work, the high-field Hall resistance and low-field magnetoresistance indicate that the TSS may coexist with a layered two-dimensional electronic system (2DES) [1].
Here, we demonstrate quantum oscillations of the Hall resistance for temperatures up to 50 K, in nominally undoped bulk Bi2Se3 with a high electron density n of about 2·1019 cm−3.
From the angular and temperature dependence of the Hall resistance and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations we identify 3D and 2D contributions to transport.
Angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy proves the existence of TSS.
We present a model for Bi2Se3 and suggest that the coexistence of TSS and 2D layered transport stabilizes the quantum oscillations of the Hall resistance.
