Haijun Zhang, Chao-Xing Liu, Xiao-Liang Qi, Xi Dai, Zhong Fang, Shou-Cheng Zhang

摘要:

拓扑绝缘体是量子物质的新态,其表面态受到时间反演对称性的保护。在这项工作中,我们进行第一原理电子结构计算的$Sb_2Te_3$,$Sb_2Se_3$,$Bi_2Te_3$和$Bi_2Se_3$晶体。我们的计算预测,$Sb_2Te_3$,$Bi_2Te_3$和$Bi_2Se_3$是拓扑绝缘体,而$Sb_2Se_3$不是。特别地,$Bi_2Se_3$具有$0.3 eV$的拓扑非平凡能隙,适合于室温应用。我们提出了一个简单而统一的连续模型,它捕捉了这类材料的显着拓扑特征。这些拓扑绝缘体具有由在$Γ$点处的单个狄拉克锥组成的鲁棒表面态。

英文摘要:

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter with surface states protected by the time-reversal symmetry. In this work, we perform first-principle electronic structure calculations for $Sb_2Te_3$, $Sb_2Se_3$, $Bi_2Te_3$ and $Bi_2Se_3$ crystals. Our calculations predict that $Sb_2Te_3$, $Bi_2Te_3$ and $Bi_2Se_3$ are topological insulators, while $Sb_2Se_3$ is not. In particular, $Bi_2Se_3$ has a topologically non-trivial energy gap of $0.3 eV$, suitable for room temperature applications. We present a simple and unified continuum model which captures the salient topological features of this class of materials. These topological insulators have robust surface states consisting of a single Dirac cone at the $Γ$ point.
