abstract = {Recently it has been shown that surface magnetic doping of
topological insulators induces backscattering of Dirac
states which are usually protected by time-reversal symmetry
[Sessi et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 5349 (2014)]. Here we report
on quasiparticle interference measurements where, by
improved Fermi level tuning, strongly focused interference
patterns on surface Mn-doped Bi2Te3 could be directly
observed by means of scanning tunneling microscopy at 4 K.
Ab initio and model calculations reveal that their
mesoscopic coherence relies on two prerequisites: (i) a
hexagonal Fermi surface with large parallel segments
(nesting) and (ii) magnetic dopants which couple to a
high-spin state. Indeed, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
shows superparamagnetism even at very dilute Mn
concentrations. Our findings provide evidence of strongly
anisotropic Dirac-fermion-mediated interactions and
demonstrate how spin information can be transmitted over
long distances, allowing the design of experiments and
devices based on coherent quantum effects in topological
insulators.},
