Mapping the influence of cobalt atoms on the topological states of Bi2Te3 — •Paolo Sessi, Thomas Bathon, Lydia El-Kareh, and Matthias Bode — Institute of Experimental Physics II, University Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg

Topological insulators are characterized by linearly dispersing gapless topological surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry. For these states, spin is perpendicularly locked to its momentum by spin-orbit interaction resulting in a chiral spin structure that forbids backscattering. However, this is predicted to not be the case when magnetic impurities are introduced into the system. Here, by means of scanning tunneling microscopy we investigate the robustness of the surface states of Bi2Te3 when single Co atoms are deposited on the surface. By analyzing the energy dependence of the quasi particle interference pattern produced by coherent scattering of surface states, we will examine the influence of Co atoms on scattering channels and energy dispersion relation.
