正常金属/量子自旋霍尔结中的巨自旋转动

Giant spin rotation in the normal metal/quantum spin Hall junction

Takehito Yokoyama, Yukio Tanaka, Naoto Nagaosa

摘要:

本文从理论上研究了正常金属与绝缘体之间的结中的反射问题,绝缘体的参数为$M$,对于$M>0$,它是一种常用的绝缘体,对于$M<0$,它是一种量子自旋霍尔系统。在$M$的平面中获得反射时的自旋旋转角$α$,并且从界面的法线测量入射角$θ$。$α$在量子临界点M=0和$θ=0$周围显示出丰富的结构,即,$α$在量子自旋霍尔情形$M<0$中的入射角下可以与$\sim π$一样大,因为螺旋边缘模式共振地增强了自旋旋转,这可以用于映射螺旋边缘模式的能量色散。作为实验相关系统,我们还研究了量子自旋霍尔/正常金属/量子自旋霍尔三层结中的自旋旋转效应。

英文摘要:

We study theoretically reflection problem in the junction between a normal metal and an insulator characterized by a parameter $M$, which is a usual insulator for $M>0$ or a quantum spin Hall system for $M<0$. The spin rotation angle $α$ at the reflection is obtained in the plane of $M$ and the incident angle $θ$ measured from the normal to the interface. The $α$ shows rich structures around the quantum critical point M=0 and $θ=0$, i.e., $α$ can be as large as $\sim π$ at an incident angle in the quatum spin Hall case $M<0$ because the helical edge modes resonantly enhance the spin rotation, which can be used to map the energy dispersion of the helical edge modes. As an experimentally relevant system, we also study spin rotation effect in quantum spin Hall/normal metal/quantum spin Hall trilayer junction.
