Epitaxy and magnetotransport studies of heterostructures based on V-VI compound topological insulators (B01)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 258499086

In this project, we will investigate the structural, magnetic and quantum transport properties of epitaxial V2VI3 tetradymite layers with a focus on magnetically doped (V,Bi,Sb)2Te3 layers and heterostructures. We will expand our methods in fabrication, magnetometry and magnetotransport studies of various magnetic topological insulator devices to improve magnetic interlayer coupling and control the number and topology of surface states.
