abstract = {Among the family of topological superconductors derived
from Bi 2 Se 3 , Cux (PbSe) 5 (Bi 2 Se 3 ) 6 is unique in
its surface termination of a single quintuple layer (QL) of
the topological insulator (TI) Bi 2 Se 3 on an
ordinaryinsulator PbSe. Here, we report a combined scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory
(DFT) characterization of the cleaved surface of the parent
compound (PbSe)5 (Bi 2 Se 3 ) 6 (PSBS). Interestingly,the
potential disorder due to the random distribution of native
defects is only ∼ 4 meV, comparable to the smallest
reported for TIs. Performing high-resolution quasiparticle
interference imaging (QPI) near the Fermienergy (E − EF =
−1 to 0.6 eV) we reconstruct the dispersion relation of
the dominant spectral feature and our ab initio calculations
show that this surface feature originates from two bands
with Rashba-like splitting dueto strong spin-orbit coupling
and inversion symmetry breaking. Moreover, only a small
hexagonal distortion of the calculated Fermi surface is seen
in the full momentum space distribution of the measured
scattering data.Nevertheless, the scattering pattern at
lower energies transforms into a flowerlike shape with
suppressed intensity along the K direction. We show that
this effect is not due to the forbidden backscattering in
the spin-momentumlocked surface state in Bi 2 Se 3 but
reflects the threefold symmetry of the scattering
potential.},
