摘要:

利用密度泛函电子结构方法,研究了本征和非本征扰动对强拓扑绝缘体Bi $_2$ Se $_3$表面态Dirac锥的影响.我们认为原子弛豫,薄膜厚度作为内在和界面薄介电膜作为一个外在的源扰动的表面状态。我们发现原子弛豫对狄拉克锥的简并度没有影响,而薄膜厚度对表面态有相当大的影响,诱导一个间隙,随着薄膜厚度的减小而单调增加。我们认为两个绝缘基板BN和石英作为介电薄膜,并表明,表面终端石英钝化或不钝化起着至关重要的作用,在维护狄拉克锥简并,而BN是更惰性的TI表面状态。用一种简单的算法计算出相对于体原子的相对轨道贡献,并在此基础上证明了自旋-轨道耦合打开时体原子能带的反转.表面态的层投影电荷密度分布表明,这些态并不严格局限于表面.这些态的空间限制扩展到两到三个五重层,一个五重层由Bi和Se的五个原子层组成

英文摘要:

Using a density functional based electronic structure method, we study the effect of perturbations on the surface state Dirac cone of a strong topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ from both the intrinsic and extrinsic sources. We consider atomic relaxations, and film thickness as intrinsic and interfacial thin dielectric films as an extrinsic source of perturbation to the surface states. We find that atomic relaxations has no effect on the degeneracy of the Dirac cone whereas film thickness has considerable effect on the surface states inducing a gap which increases monotonically with decrease in film thickness. We consider two insulating substrates BN and quartz as dielectric films and show that surface terminations of quartz with or without passivation plays critical role in preserving Dirac cone degeneracy whereas BN is more inert to the TI surface states. The relative orbital contribution with respect to bulk is mapped out using a simple algorithm, and with the help of it we demonstrate the bulk band inversion when spin-orbit coupling is switched on. The layer projected charge density distributions of the surface states shows that these states are not strictly confined to the surface. The spatial confinement of these states extends up to two to three quintuple layers, a quintuple layer consists of five atomic layers of Bi and Se
