Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, cylindrical Bi2Te3 nanowires are employed as model systems to investigate the chemistry and the unique conductive surface states of topological insulator nanomaterials. We report on nanoangle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (nano-ARPES) characterization of individual cylindrical Bi2Te3 nanowires with a diameter of 100 nm. The nanowires are synthesized by electrochemical deposition inside channels of ion-track etched polymer membranes. Core level spectra recorded with submicron resolution indicate a homogeneous chemical composition along individual nanowires, while nano-ARPES intensity maps reveal the valence band structure at the single nanowire level. First-principles electronic structure calculations for chosen crystallographic orientations are in good agreement with those revealed by nano-ARPES. The successful application of nano-ARPES on single one-dimensional nanostructures constitutes a new avenue to achieve a better understanding of the electronic structure of topological insulator nanomaterials.
