摘要:

我们分析了HgTe/CdTe量子阱中的热诱导自旋和电荷输运的基础上的数值非平衡格林函数技术在线性响应制度。在拓扑非平凡的制度,我们发现一个明确的签名的边缘状态的间隙,由于其有限的重叠从相反的样品边界-无论是在电荷塞贝克和自旋能斯特信号。我们能够充分理解的物理起源的热电传输签名的边缘和散装状态的基础上简单的分析模型。有趣的是,我们得出的自旋能斯特信号是相关的自旋霍尔电导的莫特的关系,这是确切的所有订单之间的温度差的温暖和寒冷的水库。

英文摘要:

We analyze thermally induced spin and charge transport in HgTe/CdTe quantum wells on the basis of the numerical non-equilibrium Green's function technique in the linear response regime. In the topologically non-trivial regime, we find a clear signature of the gap of the edge states due to their finite overlap from opposite sample boundaries -- both in the charge Seebeck and spin Nernst signal. We are able to fully understand the physical origin of the thermoelectric transport signatures of edge and bulk states based on simple analytical models. Interestingly, we derive that the spin Nernst signal is related to the spin Hall conductance by a Mott-like relation which is exact to all orders in the temperature difference between the warm and the cold reservoir.
