Abstract
ABSTRACTElectronic structures of rare-earth (R)-doped (; ) single crystals, which are promising candidates for magnetic topological insulators, have been investigated by employing soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and circular dichroism (CD) angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). R XAS and XMCD measurements provide evidence that R ions are trivalent and magnetic, confirming that doped R ions have purely magnetic effects. ARPES measurements of show a finite energy gap for x>0, arising from the broken time-reversal symmetry due to magnetic R impurities. CD-ARPES measurements of reveal finite CD effects in the topological surface states. This work demonstrates that () are magnetic topological insulators.
