摘要:

拓扑绝缘体(TI)已在应变的二元HgTe和三元I-III-VI 2黄铜矿化合物如CuTlSe 2中发现,其具有反转的能带结构。然而,这些现有的二元和三元TI的非平凡的带隙被限制到小的值,通常在10毫电子伏或更小。在这项工作中,我们发现,一个大的非平凡的带隙需要具有大的负晶场分裂$Δ_{CF}$的价带顶部和一个中等大的负$s-p$带隙$E_g^{s-p}$的材料。这些参数可以通过多元化合物中的化学排序来更好地调节。在此基础上,我们研究了一系列四元化合物I2-II-IV-VI 4,包括Cu 2 HgPbSe 4,Cu 2CdPbSe 4,Ag 2 HgPbSe 4和Ag 2CdPbTe 4,其中Ag 2 HgPbSe 4具有最大的TI带隙,为47 meV,这是因为它结合了$Δ_{CF}$和$E_g^{s-p}$的最佳值.

英文摘要:

Topological insulators (TIs) have been found in strained binary HgTe and ternary I-III-VI2 chalcopyrite compounds such as CuTlSe2 which have inverted band structures. However, the non-trivial band gaps of these existing binary and ternary TIs are limited to small values, usually around 10 meV or less. In this work, we reveal that a large non-trivial band gap requires the material having a large negative crystal field splitting $Δ_{CF}$ at top of the valence band and a moderately large negative $s-p$ band gap $E_g^{s-p}$. These parameters can be better tuned through chemical ordering in multinary compounds. Based on this understanding, we show that a series of quaternary I2-II-IV-VI4 compounds, including Cu2HgPbSe4, Cu2CdPbSe4, Ag2HgPbSe4 and Ag2CdPbTe4 are TIs, in which Ag2HgPbSe4 has the largest TI band gap of 47 meV because it combines the optimal values of $Δ_{CF}$ and $E_g^{s-p}$.
