Exploring the nontrivial band edge in the bulk of the topological insulators Bi_{2}Se_{3} and Bi_{2}Te_{3}

Bi_{2}Se_{3} and related compounds are prototype three-dimensional topological insulators with a single Dirac cone in the surface band structure. While the topological surface states can be characterized with surface-sensitive methods, the underlying bulk energy band inversion has not been investiga...
