Surface Shubnikov-de Hass oscillations and non-zero Berry phases of the topological hole conduction in Tl${}_{1-x}$Bi${}_{1+x}$Se${}_2$

Abstract

We report the observation of two-dimensional Shubnikov-de Hass (SdH) oscillations in the topological insulator Tl${}_{1-x}$Bi${}_{1+x}$Se${}_2$. Hall effect measurements exhibited electron-hole inversion in samples with bulk insulating properties. The SdH oscillations accompanying the hole conduction yielded a large surface carrier density of $n_{\mathrm{s}}=5.1\times 10^{12}$/cm${}^2$, with the Landau-level fan diagram exhibiting the $\pi$ Berry phase. These results showed the electron-hole reversibility around the in-gap Dirac point and the hole conduction on the surface Dirac cone without involving the bulk metallic conduction.
