Abstract
Magnetic topological insulators (TIs) are narrow-gap semiconductor materials combining a nontrivial band structure and the magnetic order. Unlike their nonmagnetic analogs, magnetic TIs can have a band gap in the electronic structure of surface states, which allows a number of exotic phenomena such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect and chiral Majorana fermions, which can be applied in spintronics. Up to now, magnetic TIs were fabricated only by doping with 3d transition metals (Cr, Co, V, Fe, Mn). However, such an approach provides these materials with strongly inhomogeneous magnetic and electronic properties, which allow the observation of the mentioned effects only at very low temperatures. An intrinsic magnetic TI, which is a well-ordered stoichiometric magnetic compound, can be an ideal solution to these problems. In this review, an experimental study of the electronic and magnetic properties of the first representative MnBi2Te4 of the intrinsic magnetic TI, as well as the (MnBi2Te4)(Bi2Te3)m, m ≥ 1, family of such TIs constructed from a sequence of MnBi2Te4 magnetic blocks separated by m Bi2Te3 nonmagnetic blocks, is presented. The effect of magnetism on the electronic structure is the strongest in MnBi2Te4 and decreases with increasing m. In particular, MnBi2Te4 has antiferromagnetically ordered Mn layers in neighboring blocks and a magnetic transition temperature (Néel temperature) of about 24.5 K. The antiferromagnetic order is also observed in compounds with m = 1 and 2, but the ordering temperatures are much lower, 13 and 11 K, respectively. At larger m values, MnBi2Te4 magnetic blocks hardly interact with each other and are in essence two-dimensional magnets. The electronic structure of topological surface states for this family is characterized by a single Dirac cone whose form and properties depend on m and on magnetic/nonmagnetic termination at m ≥ 1. In the case of magnetic termination of the surface, the gap can be opened at the Dirac point. It is maximal for MnBi2Te4 and is expected to be 80–90 meV. However, the possibility of its variation in the range from almost 0 to 70 meV for various samples is experimentally demonstrated. To determine the reasons for such deviations, density functional theory calculations are performed.
