The effects of confinement (of electrons) on the surface states of a topological insulator
Today, the total data storage capacity in the world is between 10 and 50 zettabytes (1021), and this value could double every two years. Research into new materials that would enable higher data storage density and lower power consumption is very active. Scientists at the CASSIOPEE beamline are studying promising materials: topological insulators with the chemical formula Bi1-x...
