拓扑绝缘体带:表面态和动力学响应

Topological insulator ribbon: Surface states and dynamical response

Lei Hao, Peter Thalmeier, T. K. Lee

摘要:

从理论上研究了具有实际矩形截面的拓扑绝缘体带的电荷和自旋极化分布。由于在两个横向方向上的收缩,表面态离散成一系列的子带内的体带隙。电荷和自旋分布显示出不同于理想拓扑表面态的有趣特征。分析了四种不同的表面态合并成一个新的表面态的效果。研究了该带的光学电导率和动态自旋极化率。与单一理想表面不同,带的光学响应和动态自旋极化率之间并没有明确的对应关系。动力学自旋极化率可以用来确定Bi $_2$ Se $_3$更合适的模型。

英文摘要:

We study theoretically the distributions of charge and spin polarization of a topological insulator ribbon, with a realistic rectangular cross section. Due to constriction in two lateral directions, the surface states discretize into a series of subbands inside of the bulk band gap. The charge and spin distribution show interesting characters which are different from an ideal topological surface state. The effect of merging of four different surface states into the new one as an entity are analyzed. Optical conductivity and dynamical spin susceptibility of the ribbon are studied. Different from a single ideal surface, the optical response and dynamical spin susceptibility of a ribbon do not have a clear correspondence. The dynamical spin susceptibility could be used to identify the more adequate model for Bi$_2$Se$_3$.
