Emergence of Decoupled Surface Transport Channels in Bulk Insulating Thin Films

M Brahlek, N Koirala, M Salehi, N Bansal, S Oh - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
In ideal topological insulator (TI) films the bulk state, which is supposed to be insulating,
should not provide any electric coupling between the two metallic surfaces. However …
