Stable topological insulators achieved using high energy electron beams

Stable topological insulators achieved using high energy electron beams

Defects in solids may introduce additional charges that influence the overall charge transport behaviour. Here, Zhao et al. use swift electron beams to compensate charge defects, which effectively tune Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 from p-type to n-type while preserving their topological properties.
