Millikelvin transport of high quality Bi2Se3 crystals at high pressure

ORAL

Abstract

In this study we present electronic transport in Bi2Se3 single crystals in a diamond anvil pressure cell. Reaching temperatures down to 20 mK and pressures exceeding 30 GPa we measure changes in electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, and the Hall effect and discuss the results as they pertain to topologically interesting behavior.
