Kondo effect on the surface of 3D topological insulators: Signatures in scanning tunneling spectroscopy — •Lars Fritz1, Andrew Mitchell1,2, Dirk Schuricht3, and Matthias Vojta41Universität zu Köln, Institut für Theoretische Physik — 2Department of Chemistry, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Oxford University, UK — 3Institute for Theory of Statistical Physics and JARA-Fundamentals of Future Information Technology, RWTH Aachen University — 4nstitut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Dresden

We investigate the scattering off dilute magnetic impurities placed on the surface of three- dimensional topological insulators. In the low-temperature limit, the impurity moments are Kondo- screened by the surface-state electrons, despite their exotic locking of spin and momentum. We determine signatures of the Kondo effect appearing in quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns as recorded by scanning tunneling spectroscopy, taking into account the full energy dependence of the T matrix as well as the hexagonal warping of the surface Dirac cones. We identify a universal energy dependence of the QPI signal at low scanning energies as fingerprint of Kondo physics, markedly different from the signal due to non-magnetic or static magnetic impurities. Finally, we discuss our results in the context of recent experimental data.
