Enhancement of the Surface Morphology of (Bi<sub>0.4</sub>Sb<sub>0.6</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> Thin Films by In Situ Thermal Annealing

The study of the exotic properties of the surface states of topological insulators requires defect-free and smooth surfaces. This work aims to study the enhancement of the surface morphology of optimally doped, high-crystalline (Bi<sub>0.4</sub>Sb<sub>0.6</sub>)<sub>2&l...
