Topological Surface State Observed in Superconducting (Ir1-xPtx)Te2

ORAL

Abstract

Topologically non-trivial surface state is the hallmark of 3D topological insulators and topological superconductors, where spin-orbit coupling (SOC) plays an essential role. By Ir site doping of 5{\%} Pt, the huge SOC material IrTe2 becomes a superconductor with maximal Tc $=$ 3K. Our angle resolve photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study combined with LDA analysis demonstrate the surface states of (Ir1-xPtx)Te2 is toplogically non-trivial.
