Magnetic field dependence of (a) ρyx and (b) ρxx for bare (green lines), 3-nm AlOx/5-nm LiF-capped (blue lines), and 10-nm AlOx(ALD)/0.5-nm AlOx/5-nm LiF-capped (black lines) 5-QL Cr0.15(Bi0.1Sb0.9)1.85Te3 films with gate voltage of −8 V, 40 V, and 24 V respectively. (c) Vg dependence of ρyx at zero magnetic field for bare (green line), 3-nm AlOx/5-nm LiF-capped (blue line), and 10-nm AlOx(ALD)/0.5-nm AlOx/5-nm LiF-capped (black line) 5-QL Cr0.15(Bi0.1Sb0.9)1.85Te3 films. Magnetic field dependence of ρyx and ρxx (Vg = 12 V), Vg dependence of ρyx at zero magnetic field of 3-nm AlOx/5-nm LiF-capped 5-QL Cr0.15(Bi0.1Sb0.9)1.85Te3 film, which is kept in argon glove box for 17 days, are shown with red lines in panels (a), (b), and (c). All the measurements are conducted at 1.5 K.
