摘要:

基于相对论从头计算,我们证明了在层状拓扑绝缘体表面同时出现抛物线和M形二维电子气(2DEG)带以及前者的Rashba分裂的驱动机制是由于金属原子或残余气体的嵌入引起的范德华(vdW)间距的扩展. vdW间距的扩展和出现的2DEG状态本地化的(子)表面区域也伴随着重新定位的拓扑表面状态的较低的五重层,这可以解释实验发现的带间散射的情况下。

英文摘要:

On the basis of relativistic ab-initio calculations we show that the driving mechanism of simultaneous emergence of parabolic and M-shaped 2D electron gas (2DEG) bands at the surface of layered topological insulators as well as Rashba-splitting of the former states is an expansion of van der Waals (vdW) spacings caused by intercalation of metal atoms or residual gases. The expansion of vdW spacings and emergence of the 2DEG states localized in the (sub)surface region are also accompanied by a relocation of the topological surface state to the lower quintuple layers, that can explain the absence of interband scattering found experimentally.
