Van der Waals heterostructures based on three-dimensional topological insulators

Abstract
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) have generated tremendous research interest over the past decade due to their topologically-protected surface states with linear dispersion and helical spin texture. The topological surface states offer an important platform to realize topological phase transitions, topological magnetoelectric effects and topological superconductivity via 3D TI-based heterostructures. In this review, we summarize the key findings of magneto and quantum transport properties in 3D TIs and their related heterostructures with normal insulators, ferromagnets and superconductors. For intrinsic 3D TIs, the experimental evidences of the topological surface states and their coupling effects are reviewed. Whereas for 3D TI related heterostructures, we focus on some important phenomenological magnetotransport activities and provide explanations for the proximity-induced topological and quantum effects.
