Observation of cyclotron anti-resonance in topological insulator Bi2Te3.

ORAL

Abstract

We report on the experimental observation of a cyclotron
anti-resonance in a canonical 3D topological insulator
Bi2Te3. Magneto-reflectance response of bulk Bi2Te3 was
studied in 18 Tesla magnetic field, and contrary to other
topological insulators studied before, an anti-resonance is
observed in the spectra. Based on the analysis of the data we
propose that the anti-resonance is the result of different coupling
of charge carriers to left and right circularly polarized light.
