能带结构反转的HgTe量子点中的螺旋量子态

Helical Quantum States in HgTe Quantum Dots with Inverted Band Structures

Kai Chang, W. K. Lou

摘要:

从理论上研究了具有反转能带结构的碲化汞量子点中的电子态。与传统半导体量子点形成鲜明对比的是,具有反转能带结构的碲化汞量子点带隙中的量子态是完全自旋极化的,在量子点的边界附近呈现环状密度分布,并且自旋角动量锁定.持续电荷电流和磁矩,即,Aharonov-Bohm效应可以在这种QD结构中观察到,且随着磁场增加而振荡。这一特点为我们提供了一个实用的方法来检测这些奇异的环状边缘状态使用SQUID技术。

英文摘要:

We investigate theoretically the electron states in HgTe quantum dots (QDs) with inverted band structures. In sharp contrast to conventional semiconductor quantum dots, the quantum states in the gap of HgTe quantum dot with an inverted band structure are fully spin-polarized, and show ring-like density distributions near the boundary of the QD and spin-angular momentum locking. The persistent charge currents and magnetic moments, i.e., the Aharonov-Bohm effect, can be observed in such QD structure and oscillate with increasing magnetic fields. This feature offers us a practical way to detect these exotic ring-like edge states using the SQUID technique.
