A method for forming a topological insulator structure is provided. A strontium titanate substrate having a surface (111) is used. The surface (111) of the strontium titanate substrate is cleaned by heat-treating the strontium titanate substrate in the molecular beam epitaxy chamber. The strontium titanate substrate is heated and Bi beam, Sb beam, Cr beam, and Te beam are formed in the molecular beam epitaxy chamber in a controlled ratio achieved by controlling flow rates of the Bi beam, Sb beam, Cr beam, and Te beam. The magnetically doped topological insulator quantum well film is formed on the surface (111) of the strontium titanate substrate. The amount of the hole type charge carriers introduced by the doping with Cr is substantially equal to the amount of the electron type charge carriers introduced by the doping with Bi.

Method for making topological insulator structure

A topological insulator structure includes an insulating substrate and a magnetically doped TI quantum well film located on the insulating substrate. A material of the magnetically doped TI quantum well film is represented by a chemical formula of Cr(BiSb)Te. 0.05&#x3c;x&#x3c;0.3, 0&#x3c;y&#x3c;0.3, and 1:2&#x3c;x:y&#x3c;2:1. The magnetically doped TI quantum well film is in 3 QL to 5 QL.
