摘要:

本文研究了三维拓扑绝缘体Bi 2 Te 2Se的复杂光学性质随温度的变化关系,并在室温下研究了压力对a-b平面光偏振的影响.该材料在295 K下具有300 meV的体光学带隙,显示出半导体特性。除了在平面中观察到的两个预期的红外活性振动之外,还有额外的精细结构,这归因于简并性的去除或由于无序而激活的拉曼模式。还观察到位于200 cm^{-1}处的强杂质带。在光学带隙处和光学带隙上方,发现几个带间色散具有很强的温度和压力依赖性。随着温度的降低,这些特征的强度和硬度增加。压力的应用导致了一个非常突然的关闭的差距超过8 GPa,并强烈修改中红外光谱范围内的带间反射。虽然从头计算未能预测的崩溃的差距,他们成功地描述了在环境压力下的带隙的大小,和大小和形状的光学电导率。

英文摘要:

The temperature dependence of the complex optical properties of the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi2Te2Se is reported for light polarized in the a-b planes at ambient pressure, as well as the effects of pressure at room temperature. This material displays a semiconducting character with a bulk optical gap of 300 meV at 295 K. In addition to the two expected infrared-active vibrations observed in the planes, there is additional fine structure that is attributed to either the removal of degeneracy or the activation of Raman modes due to disorder. A strong impurity band located at 200 cm^{-1} is also observed. At and just above the optical gap, several interband absorptions are found to show a strong temperature and pressure dependence. As the temperature is lowered these features increase in strength and harden. The application of pressure leads to a very abrupt closing of the gap above 8 GPa, and strongly modifies the interband absorptions in the mid-infrared spectral range. While ab initio calculations fail to predict the collapse of the gap, they do successfully describe the size of the band gap at ambient pressure, and the magnitude and shape of the optical conductivity.
