Abstract
The transport and magnetic properties as well as the microscopic electronic properties of the Dy-doped topological insulator Bi2Se3 (Bi1.9Dy0.1Se3) are examined in detail. It is demonstrated that Dy doping induces antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering in Bi2Se3. It is also observed that Dy doping opens a surface band gap of ∼52 meV at 6.5 K. The transition from AFM to ferromagnetic occurs at a lower temperature, ∼5 K in a magnetic field of ∼3 T. Furthermore, Dy doping in Bi2Se3 leads to the Kondo effect and weak localization to weak anti-localization crossover. Muon spin resonance measurements indicate that the signal measured with magnetization reflects the magnetic properties of 2% of the sample. The experimental findings are supported by theoretical calculations based on density functional theory.
