Bi2Se3 is one of the prototype three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators, where investigating transport by the two-dimensional (2D) topological surface states (TSS) has been hampered by residual bulk charge carriers.
In recent work, the high-field Hall resistance and low-field magnetoresistance indicate that the TSS may coexist with a layered 2D electronic system [1].
We have investigated nominally undoped, bulk Bi2Se3 with a high electron density n≈2·1019 cm−3 and show quantum oscillations of the Hall resistance for temperatures up to 50 K.
The angular and temperature dependence of the Hall resistance and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations show 3D and 2D contributions to transport.
Angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy proves the existence of TSS.
We present a model for Bi2Se3 and suggest a coexistence of TSS and 2D layered transport stabilizing the quantum oscillations of the Hall resistance [2].
