Abstract

The angle resolved photo-emission spectroscopy (ARPES) study and magneto-transport properties of Bi2CuxTe3−x have been investigated. ARPES study indicates the clear existence of surface states in the as-prepared samples. The estimated bandgap from ARPES is found to be ∼5 meV and 16 meV respectively for x = 0.03 and x = 0.15 samples. Presence of larger Cu concentration (x = 0.15) introduces magnetic ordering. Observed non-linearity in the Hall data is due to the existence of anomalous Hall effect which can be attributed to the 2D transport. The observed magneto-transport features might be related to the surface carriers which is confirmed by ARPES study.
