拓扑晶体绝缘体

Topological Crystalline Insulators

Liang Fu

摘要:

最近拓扑绝缘体的发现重新引起了人们对绝缘能带结构拓扑性质的兴趣。在这项工作中,我们扩展了绝缘能带结构的拓扑分类,包括某些点群对称的晶体。我们发现了一类三维的拓扑晶体绝缘体,它们在某些高对称性的晶体表面上具有金属表面态。这些拓扑晶体绝缘体可以被看作是拓扑绝缘体在没有自旋轨道耦合的材料中的对应物。它们的表面态具有二次带简并性而不是线性狄拉克色散。它们的能带结构具有新的Z 2不变量。我们希望这项工作将扩大家庭的拓扑相带绝缘体和刺激他们在实际材料中的搜索。

英文摘要:

The recent discovery of topological insulators has revived interest in the topological properties of insulating band structures. In this work, we extend the topological classification of insulating band structures to include certain point group symmetry of crystals. We find a class of three-dimensional "topological crystalline insulators" which have metallic surface states on certain high symmetry crystal surfaces. These topological crystalline insulators can be viewed as the counterpart of topological insulators in materials without spin-orbit coupling. Their surface states have quadratic band degeneracy instead of linear Dirac dispersion. Their band structures are characterized by new Z2 invariants. We hope this work will enlarge the family of topological phases in band insulators and stimulate the search for them in real materials.
