Crystalline Bi2Te3 is a material that is known as a topological insulator. Nearly all of the current experimental research on topological insulators have focused exclusively on crystalline topological insulators. This thesis takes samples of Bi2Te3 that are not crystalline and performs measurements to confirm experimentally whether a material can be a disordered topological insulator.
