摘要:

三维拓扑绝缘体具有绝缘体态和金属表面态的特征,其中包含了狄拉克费米子,它们表现为无质量的相对论粒子。这些狄拉克费米子在拓扑绝缘体中实现了许多新奇的量子现象,并在自旋电子学和量子计算中有潜在的应用。因此,必须了解狄拉克费米子的电子动力学,即,它们如何与其他电子、声子和无序相互作用。利用超高分辨角分辨光电子能谱研究了Bi_2(Te,Se)_3拓扑绝缘体中狄拉克费米子的动力学行为.我们直接揭示了这些拓扑绝缘体中的电子-声子耦合特征,并发现电子-无序相互作用是散射过程中的主导因素。Bi 2(Te 3-xSex)拓扑绝缘体中的狄拉克费米子动力学可以通过改变组分x或通过控制载流子来调谐。我们的研究结果为理解拓扑绝缘体中狄拉克费米子的电子动力学和工程设计其表面态的基础研究和潜在应用提供了重要信息。

英文摘要:

Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by insulating bulk state and metallic surface state involving Dirac fermions that behave as massless relativistic particles. These Dirac fermions are responsible for achieving a number of novel and exotic quantum phenomena in the topological insulators and for their potential applications in spintronics and quantum computations. It is thus essential to understand the electron dynamics of the Dirac fermions, i.e., how they interact with other electrons, phonons and disorders. Here we report super-high resolution angle-resolved photoemission studies on the Dirac fermion dynamics in the prototypical Bi2(Te,Se)3 topological insulators. We have directly revealed signatures of the electron-phonon coupling in these topological insulators and found that the electron-disorder interaction is the dominant factor in the scattering process. The Dirac fermion dynamics in Bi2(Te3-xSex) topological insulators can be tuned by varying the composition, x, or by controlling the charge carriers. Our findings provide crucial information in understanding the electron dynamics of the Dirac fermions in topological insulators and in engineering their surface state for fundamental studies and potential applications.
