摘要:

拓扑绝缘体是最近发现的一类具有迷人特性的材料:虽然固体的内部是绝缘的,但基本的对称性考虑要求表面是金属的。金属表面态显示出非常规的自旋织构、电子动力学和稳定性。最近,表面只有一个单一的狄拉克锥色散受到特别的关注。这些被预测为许多新的物理现象,如马约拉纳费米子,磁单极子和非常规超导性的主机。当拓扑表面状态位于磁场或电场、(超导)金属附近时,或者如果材料处于受限几何形状时,这种效应将主要发生。在这里,我们表明,带弯曲附近的拓扑绝缘体Bi $_2$ Se $_3$的表面引起的二维电子气(2DEG)的形成。二维电子气,著名的半导体表面和界面,它形成的基础上的整数和分数量子霍尔效应,二维超导性,和大量的实际应用,共存的拓扑表面状态在Bi $_2$ Se $_3$。这导致了一种独特的情况,即拓扑和非拓扑,容易调谐和潜在的超导,金属状态被限制在同一空间区域。

英文摘要:

Topological insulators are a recently discovered class of materials with fascinating properties: While the inside of the solid is insulating, fundamental symmetry considerations require the surfaces to be metallic. The metallic surface states show an unconventional spin texture, electron dynamics and stability. Recently, surfaces with only a single Dirac cone dispersion have received particular attention. These are predicted to play host to a number of novel physical phenomena such as Majorana fermions, magnetic monopoles and unconventional superconductivity. Such effects will mostly occur when the topological surface state lies in close proximity to a magnetic or electric field, a (superconducting) metal, or if the material is in a confined geometry. Here we show that a band bending near to the surface of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ gives rise to the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The 2DEG, renowned from semiconductor surfaces and interfaces where it forms the basis of the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects, two-dimensional superconductivity, and a plethora of practical applications, coexists with the topological surface state in Bi$_2$Se$_3$. This leads to the unique situation where a topological and a non-topological, easily tunable and potentially superconducting, metallic state are confined to the same region of space.
