Bi2Se3 (Bismuth Selenide)

Bi2Se3 Bismuth Selenide Bi2Se3 is a topological insulator with a band gap of ~0.3 eV for bulk crystals. The layers are stacked together via van der Waals interactions and can be exfoliated into thin 2D layers. Bi2Se3 belongs to the group-15 post-transition metal trichalcogenides.
