Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals the exotic properties of an unusual type of electron

Friday, November 14, 2014 - 09:30 in Physics & Chemistry

The unusual properties of electrons responsible for the exotic conduction states on the surface of a class of materials known as topological insulators have been imaged by RIKEN researchers. The imaging technique promises a more complete understanding of such systems and could aid the development of novel spintronic devices.
