Helical Dirac fermions—charge carriers that behave as massless relativistic particles with an intrinsic angular momentum (spin) locked to its translational momentum—are proposed to be the key to realizing fundamentally new phenomena in condensed matter physics1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Prominent examples include the anomalous quantization of magneto-electric coupling4, 5, 6, half-fermion states that are their own antiparticle7, 8, and charge fractionalization in a Bose–Einstein condensate9, all of which are not possible with conventional Dirac fermions of the graphene variety10. Helical Dirac fermions have so far remained elusive owing to the lack of necessary spin-sensitive measurements and because such fermions are forbidden to exist in conventional materials harbouring relativistic electrons, such as graphene10 or bismuth11. It has recently been proposed that helical Dirac fermions may exist at the edges of certain types of topologically ordered insulators3, 4, 12—materials with a bulk insulating gap of spin–orbit origin and surface states protected against scattering by time-reversal symmetry—and that their peculiar properties may be accessed provided the insulator is tuned into the so-called topological transport regime3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. However, helical Dirac fermions have not been observed in existing topological insulators13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Here we report the realization and characterization of a tunable topological insulator in a bismuth-based class of material by combining spin-imaging and momentum-resolved spectroscopies, bulk charge compensation, Hall transport measurements and surface quantum control. Our results reveal a spin-momentum locked Dirac cone carrying a non-trivial Berry's phase that is nearly 100 per cent spin-polarized, which exhibits a tunable topological fermion density in the vicinity of the Kramers point and can be driven to the long-sought topological spin transport regime. The observed topological nodal state is shown to be protected even up to 300 K. Our demonstration of room-temperature topological order and non-trivial spin-texture in stoichiometric Bi2Se3.Mx (Mx indicates surface doping or gating control) paves the way for future graphene-like studies of topological insulators, and applications of the observed spin-polarized edge channels in spintronic and computing technologies possibly at room temperature.
