Abstract: Interaction of phonons with Dirac-like electronic states sets the fundamental limit of electron transport in topological insulators (TIs). Polarization-resolved and resonant Raman scattering of bulk and surface electronic excitation and vibrational modes in Bi2Te3 and Bi2xSbxTe3ySey (BSTS) thin films was investigated. At photon energies (Ep) of 1.57 and 2.54 eV, A1 1g and A2 1g (LO) modes in Bi2Te3 and BSTS were resonantly excited owing to interband optical excitations of the surface Dirac state (DS) and bulk conduction band (CB), respectively. At room temperature, the resonance of the surface phonon of Raman and IR active modes E1 u (LO) and A1 1u (LO) was observed in Bi2Te3 because of interband excitation of bulk CB, and interband transition of DS resonantly excited the A2 1u (LO) surface phonon in BSTS. A Fano lineshape suggested interference in the presence of electron–phonon coupling of the surface states.
