Hydrogen can be incorporated within a solid and drastically modify its electronic and structural state. Here, the authors report reversible binding of H+ ions to chalcogens in the Bi2Te3 class of topological insulators and magnets, allowing Fermi level tuning into the bulk gap without altering carrier mobility or the bandstructure.
