Spin polarized STM spectra of Dirac Fermions on the surface of a topological insulator

K. Saha, Sourin Das, K. Sengupta, D. Sen

摘要:

我们提供了一个理论的狄拉克费米子在拓扑绝缘体的表面上的隧道电导$G(V)$测量的自旋极化扫描隧道显微镜尖为低偏置电压$V$。我们发现,$G(V)$表现出非常规的依赖于尖端的磁化方向,并可用于测量表面上的狄拉克费米子的局部面外自旋取向的大小。我们还表明,如果在平面内的旋转对称性的表面上的拓扑绝缘体被打破的外部字段,然后$G(V)$收购依赖于方位角的磁化的尖端。我们解释了狄拉克费米子在这种非常规行为中的作用,并建议实验来测试我们的理论。

英文摘要:

We provide a theory for the tunneling conductance $G(V)$ of Dirac Fermions on the surface of a topological insulator as measured by a spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscope tip for low bias voltages $V$. We show that $G(V)$ exhibits an unconventional dependence on the direction of magnetization of the tip and can be used to measure the magnitude of the local out-of-plane spin orientation of the Dirac Fermions on the surface. We also demonstrate that if the in-plane rotational symmetry on the surface of the topological insulator is broken by an external field, then $G(V)$ acquires a dependence on the azimuthal angle of the magnetization of the tip. We explain the role of the Dirac Fermions in this unconventional behavior and suggest experiments to test our theory.
