Surface state transport in Bi2Se3 nanodevices

ORAL

Abstract

We report on electronic transport measurements on thin ($<$100 nm) Bi2Se3 devices and show that the density of the surface states can be modulated via the electric field effect by using a top-gate with a high-k dielectric insulator. The conductance dependence on geometry, gate voltage, and temperature all indicate that transport is governed by parallel surface and bulk contributions.
