摘要: We report on the epitaxial fabrication and electronic properties of a topological phase in strained alpha-Sn InSb. The surface state forms presence an unusual band order not based direct spin-orbit coupling, as shown density functional GW slab-layer calculations. Angle-resolved photoemission including spin detection probes experimentally how spin-polarized emerges from second bulk valence band. Moreover, we demonstrate precise control Fermi level by dopants.
