摘要
We investigate the effect of weak antilocalization arising from topological surface states in high quality single crystals of Bi1.995Ca0.005Se3, at low temperature. The weak antilocalization co-efficient of conductance can be tuned by gate voltage and separated into coherently independent channels, which in topological insulators include both the bulk conduction and topological surface conduction. By calcium doping, we are able to achieve p-type behavior in Bi1.995Ca0.005Se3 (bulk crystals of thickness similar to 0.3 mm) with carrier density similar to 10(18)/cm(3). (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
