摘要
In topological insulator thin films, new states of matter can be generated by hybridizing the massless Dirac states that occur at the topological insulator surface. In this work, we experimentally introduce a platform where this hybridization can be continuously tuned: the PbSnSe topological superlattice. Using magnetooptical transmission spectroscopy on high quality molecular beam epitaxy grown PbSnSe/ PbEuSe superlattices, we demonstrate that the energy gap emerging from this hybridization can be tuned with temperature from 1 to 10 THz. The engineering of topological states is a promising road to achieve photo detection and/or photoemission in the terahertz range.
