Abstract Manipulating emergent quantum phenomena is a key issue for understanding the underlying physics and contributing to possible applications. Here we study the evolution of insulating ground states of Ta$_{2}$Pd$_{3}$Te$_{5}$ and Ta$_{2}$Ni$_{3}$Te$_{5}$ under in-situ surface potassium deposition via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results confirm the excitonic insulator character of Ta$_{2}$Pd$_{3}$Te$_{5}$. Upon surface doping, the size of its global gap decreases obviously. After a deposition time of more than 7 min, the potassium atoms induce a metal-insulator phase transition and make the system recover to a normal state. In contrast, our results show that the isostructural compound Ta$_{2}$Ni$_{3}$Te$_{5}$ is a conventional insulator. The size of its global gap decreases upon surface doping, but persists positive throughout the doping process. Our results not only confirm the excitonic origin of the band gap in Ta$_{2}$Pd$_{3}$Te$_{5}$, but also offer an effective method for designing functional quantum devices in the future.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
