Boundary conductance in macroscopic bismuth crystals

The topology of the surface states of a bismuth crystal remains an ongoing debate. Here, the authors observe surface electric conductivity with a magnetic field parallel to the two-dimensional boundary between the three-dimensional bismuth crystal and vacuum, but this effect is absent in antimony cr...
