By breaking time reversal symmetry, introducing magnetic order to topological insulators leads to the opening of a 2D surface state gap at the Dirac point. As a second crucial parameter, tuning the position of the Fermi level inside this gap, enables the observation of exciting new phenomena, such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE).
Here, we focus on the intrinsic ferromagnetic monolayer of MnBi2Te4, acting as a magnetic extension of the topological insulator Bi2Te3 [1]. We tune the Fermi level position in this compound by preparing a single layer of MnBi2Te4 on top of the topologically non-trivial p-n-junction of Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3 grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [2].
We will present a study containing structural characterization of the heterostructures by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy, while the electronic structure is assessed by X-ray and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
