Through band structure engineering, the ideal topological insulators, (Bi1−xSbx)2Te3 ternary alloys, are successfully fabricated, which possess truly insulating bulk and tunable conducting surface states. Further transport measurements on these ternary alloys reveal a disentanglement between the magnetoelectric and thermoelectric properties. In magnetically doped topological insulators, the fascinating quantum anomalous Hall effect was experimentally observed for the first time. Moreover, the topology-driven magnetic quantum phase transition was Systematically controlled by varying the strength of the spin-orbital coupling. Readers will not only benefit from the description of the technique of transport measurements, but will also be inspired by the understanding of topological insulators.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Condensed matterSurfaces (Technology)Thin filmsCondensed Matter Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000Condensed matter.Surfaces (Technology)Thin films.Condensed Matter Physics.Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films.621.31937Zhang Jinsongauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut799791MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254618403321Transport Studies of the Electrical, Magnetic and Thermoelectric properties of Topological Insulator Thin Films1800521UNINA
