Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently topological insulator as a peculiar surface state is proposed theoretically. Although bulk state is insulator due to existence of a energy gap between valence and conduction bands, metal state realized in surface due to close energy gap. Aim of this study is direct measurements of Dirac electron state in topological insulator, which was considered that surface electrons have linear dispersion of energy, by cyclotron resonance of transmission method. For this purpose, we developed a high sensitive measurement system using a short length cryostat and a high resolution acquisition digital storage oscilloscope. Developed system becomes 20 times higher sensitivity than precedent system. Cyclotron resonance measurements of bundled thin films of topological insulator Bi2Se3 have been performed. Intrinsic signals of cyclotron resonance were observed in low frequency region. However, we cannot estimate the Fermi velocity due to lack of sensitivity in high frequency region.
