Surface Reactivity Enhancement on a Pd/Bi2Te3 Heterostructure through Robust Topological Surface States

We present a study of the surface reactivity of a Pd/Bi2Te3 thin film heterostructure. The topological surface states from Bi2Te3, being delocalized and robust owing to their topological natures, were found to act as an effective electron bath that significantly enhances the surface reactivity of pa...
