摘要
Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we visualized the native defects in antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4. Two native defects, Mn-Bi and Bi-Te antisites, can be well resolved in the topographic images. Mn Bi tend to suppress the density of states at the conduction band edge. Spectroscopy imaging reveals a localized peaklike local density of state at similar to 80 meV below the Fermi energy. A careful inspection of topographic and spectroscopic images, combined with density functional theory calculation, suggests this results from Bi-Mn antisites at Mn sites. The random distribution of Mn-Bi and Bi-Mn antisites results in spatial fluctuation of local density of states near the Fermi level in MnBi2Te4.
