摘要：
An exotic type of topological spin-helical surface state was found in layered van der Waals bonded (SnTe)(n=2,3)(Bi2Te3)(m=1) compounds which comprise two covalently bonded band inverted sublattices, SnTe and Bi2Te3, within a building block. This topological state demonstrates unusual dispersion within the band gap. The dispersion of the surface state has two linear sections of different slope with a shoulder feature between them. Such a dispersion of the topological surface state enables an effective switch of the velocity of topological carriers by means of applying an external electric field.
