Charge puddles in a completely compensated topological insulator

Compensation of intrinsic charges is widely used to reduce the bulk conductivity of 3D topological insulators (TIs). Here we use low temperature electron irradiation-induced defects paired with in situ electrical transport measurements to fine-tune the degree of compensation in Bi _2 Te _3 . The coe...
