拓扑绝缘体中的经典自旋

Classical spins in topological insulators

Qin Liu, Tianxing Ma

摘要:

根据最近关于HgTe/CdTe量子阱中量子自旋霍尔效应的理论和实验结果,我们考虑了一个局域在系统体中的磁性杂质,并将其视为经典自旋。结果表明,对于任意强的反型区杂质,体能隙中总是存在定域激发态,而对于很强的正型区杂质,体能隙中的定域激发态消失.类似的结论也适用于三维拓扑绝缘体。这种明显的差异作为另一种新的标准的常规和拓扑绝缘相时,时间反演对称性被打破,可以很容易地通过STM和/或ARPES实验观察到。

英文摘要:

Following the recent theoretical proposal and experiment on quantum spin Hall effect in HgTe/CdTe quantum wells, we consider a single magnetic impurity localized in the bulk of the system, which we treat as a classical spin. It is shown that there are always localized excited states in the bulk energy gap for arbitrarily strong impurity strength in inverted region, while the localized excited states vanish for very strong impurity strength in normal region. Similar conclusion also applies to three-dimensional topological insulators. This distinct difference serves as another novel criterion for the conventional and topological insulating phases when the time-reversal symmetry is broken, and can be easily experimentally observed through the STM and/or ARPES experiments.
