We report on the temperature-induced quantum decoupling between the surface states, demonstrated by weak antilocalization measurements, in the topological insulator Bi2−0.15(TeSe)3+0.15nanoplates. The samples are prepared by a catalyst-free vapor–solid process with the dimension of 10 μm and the thickness of 20 nm. The channel indicator is extracted from the weak antilocalization, which presents a transition from 0.5 to 1 with the increasing temperature. This reveals the coherent decoupling between the two surface states, during which the dephasing length reaches the plate thickness. A bulk-mediated intersurface coupling model interprets the transition.
