摘要：

The local atomic and electronic structures around the dopants in Cr-doped (BixSb1-x)(2)Te-3 are studied by x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements and first-principles calculations. Both Cr and Bi are confirmed substituting Sb sites (Cr-Sb and Bi-Sb). The six nearest Te atoms around Cr move towards Cr and shorten the Cr-Te bond lengths to 2.76 angstrom and 2.77 angstrom for x = 0.1 and x = 0.2, respectively. Importantly, we reveal the hybridization between the Sb/Te p states and Cr d states by the presence of a pre-edge peak at Cr K-absorption edge, which is also supported by our ab initio calculations. These findings provide important clues to understand the mechanism of ferromagnetic order in this system with quantum anomalous Hall effect.
