The new family of intrinsically magnetic van-der-Waals layered topological insulators Mn(Bi,Sb)Te, with strong spin-orbit coupling, is of great interest to investigate the interplay between topology and magnetic order in electronic band structures. When introducing magnetism into a 3D topological insulator, this interplay can generate topological quantum states like the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAH) or the axion insulator, which can be modified by tuning the magnetization.
Our recent studies consider the MnSb2Te4 compound, a ferromagnet with a perpendicular-to-plane anisotropy and a critical Curie-Weiss temperature as high as 50K. MnSb2Te4 has been controversially discussed to be a magnetic Weyl semimetal or a candidate to realize the axion insulator. We investigated the thickness-dependent properties of exfoliated nanoflakes using magneto-transport, revealing the change in important parameters such as the resistivity, the Curie temperature and the magnetic coercive field. The influence of both the intrinsic electrical doping and disorder in magnetic topological insulators is considered as well.
