Adjustable quantum interference oscillations in Sb-doped Bi2Se3 topological insulator nanoribbons

Abstract

Topological insulator (TI) nanoribbons (NRs) provide a unique platform for investigating quantum interference oscillations combined with topological surface states. One-dimensional subbands formed along the perimeter of a TI NR can be modulated by an axial magnetic field, exhibiting Aharonov-Bohm (AB) and Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak (AAS) oscillations of magnetoconductance (MC). Using Sb-doped Bi2Se3 TI NRs, we found that the relative amplitudes of the two quantum oscillations can be tuned by varying the channel length, exhibiting crossover from quasi-ballistic to diffusive transport regimes. The AB and AAS oscillations were discernible even for a 70 micrometer long channel, while only the AB oscillations were observed for a short channel. Analyses based on ensemble-averaged fast Fourier transform of MC curves revealed exponential temperature dependences of the AB and AAS oscillations, from which the circumferential phase-coherence length and thermal length were obtained. Our observations indicate that the channel length in a TI NR can be a useful control knob for tailored quantum interference oscillations, especially for developing topological hybrid quantum devices.
