拓扑绝缘体侧面的低速各向异性狄拉克费米子

Low-velocity anisotropic Dirac fermions on the side surface of topological insulators

Chang-Youn Moon, Jinhee Han, Hyungjun Lee, Hyoung Joon Choi

摘要:

我们报道了拓扑绝缘体Bi $_2$ Se $_3$的各向异性Dirac-cone表面能带.我们发现侧面狄拉克锥中的电子速度比(111)面狄拉克锥中的电子速度各向异性地降低,并且除了在高对称性方向上的{\bf k}外,电子速度与波矢{ \bf k}不平行.电子自旋的大小取决于{ \bf k}的方向,这是由于电子态的非共线性的各向异性变化。提出了侧面狄拉克费米子的低能有效哈密顿量,并给出了它的含义,包括在不同表面相交的拓扑绝缘体边缘发生的折射输运现象.

英文摘要:

We report anisotropic Dirac-cone surface bands on a side-surface geometry of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ revealed by first-principles density-functional calculations. We find that the electron velocity in the side-surface Dirac cone is anisotropically reduced from that in the (111)-surface Dirac cone, and the velocity is not in parallel with the wave vector {\bf k} except for {\bf k} in high-symmetry directions. The size of the electron spin depends on the direction of {\bf k} due to anisotropic variation of the noncollinearity of the electron state. Low-energy effective Hamiltonian is proposed for side-surface Dirac fermions, and its implications are presented including refractive transport phenomena occurring at the edges of tological insulators where different surfaces meet.
