Photoemission Spectroscopy of Magnetic and Nonmagnetic Impurities on the Surface of the Bi[subscript 2]Se[subscript 3] Topological Insulator
Dirac-like surface states on surfaces of topological insulators have a chiral spin structure that suppresses backscattering and protects the coherence of these states in the presence of nonmagnetic scatterers. In contrast, magnetic scatterers should open the backscattering channel via the spin-flip...
