| الوصف: | Surface states of a topological insulator demonstrate interesting quantum phenomena, such as the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect and the quantum magnetoelectric effect. Fermi energy tuning plays a role in inducing phase transitions and developing future device functions. Here, we report on controlling the topological phases in a dual-gate field-effect transistor of a semi-magnetic topological insulator heterostructure. The heterostructure consists of magnetized one-surface and non-magnetic other-surface. By tuning the Fermi energy to the energy gap of the magnetized surface, the Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}$ becomes close to the half-integer quantized Hall conductivity $e^2/2h$, exemplifying parity anomaly. The dual-gate control enables the band structure alignment to the two quantum Hall states with $\sigma_{xy} = e^2/h$ and 0 under a strong magnetic field. These states are topologically equivalent to the QAH and axion insulator states, respectively. Precise and independent control of the band alignment of the top and bottom surfaces successively induces various topological phase transitions among the QAH, axion insulator, and parity anomaly states in magnetic topological insulators.
