弱拓扑绝缘体表面的量子输运和双参数标度

Quantum transport and two-parameter scaling at the surface of a weak topological insulator

Roger S. K. Mong, Jens H. Bardarson, Joel E. Moore

摘要:

弱拓扑绝缘体在其表面谱中具有偶数个狄拉克锥,并且被认为对无序不稳定,这导致绝缘表面。在这里,我们认为,存在的障碍单独不会本地化的表面状态,而是,存在的时间反演对称质量项是本地化所需的。通过数值模拟,我们表明,在质量项的情况下,表面总是流到一个稳定的金属相和电导率服从单参数标度关系,就像在强拓扑绝缘体表面的情况下。在弱拓扑绝缘体中引入质量后,其表面的输运性质服从双参数标度形式。

英文摘要:

Weak topological insulators have an even number of Dirac cones in their surface spectrum and are thought to be unstable to disorder, which leads to an insulating surface. Here we argue that the presence of disorder alone will not localize the surface states, rather; the presence of a time-reversal symmetric mass term is required for localization. Through numerical simulations, we show that in the absence of the mass term the surface always flow to a stable metallic phase and the conductivity obeys a one-parameter scaling relation, just as in the case of a strong topological insulator surface. With the inclusion of the mass, the transport properties of the surface of a weak topological insulator follow a two-parameter scaling form.
