摘要:

利用角分辨光电子能谱,我们发现最近发现的SrTiO $_{3}$表面态由具有不同维数特征的非简并$t_{2g}$态组成。虽然$d_{xy}$带具有准2D色散,具有弱的$k_{z}$依赖性,但提升的$d_{xz}$ / $d_{yz}$带显示出与本体预期显著不同的3D色散,并表明与这些轨道相关的电子渗透到近表面区域。与它们的更二维的对应物一样,对于不同的样品制备,$d_{xz}$ / $d_{yz}$费米表面组分的大小和特征基本上是相同的。在真空中辐照SrTiO $_{3}$是迄今为止观察到的一种诱导“通用”表面金属态的方法。我们发现,在这个过程中,在氧的价带光谱的重量,符合出现的表面导电性的变化是不成比例的O $1s$核心水平的光谱的总强度的任何变化。这意味着金属表面的形成超出了简单的化学掺杂方案,并且与表面区域中的近$E_{F}$电子的初始状态和/或空间分布的深刻变化一起发生。

英文摘要:

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we show that the recently-discovered surface state on SrTiO$_{3}$ consists of non-degenerate $t_{2g}$ states with different dimensional characters. While the $d_{xy}$ bands have quasi-2D dispersions with weak $k_{z}$ dependence, the lifted $d_{xz}$/$d_{yz}$ bands show 3D dispersions that differ significantly from bulk expectations and signal that electrons associated with those orbitals permeate the near-surface region. Like their more 2D counterparts, the size and character of the $d_{xz}$/$d_{yz}$ Fermi surface components are essentially the same for different sample preparations. Irradiating SrTiO$_{3}$ in ultrahigh vacuum is one method observed so far to induce the "universal" surface metallic state. We reveal that during this process, changes in the oxygen valence band spectral weight that coincide with the emergence of surface conductivity are disproportionate to any change in the total intensity of the O $1s$ core level spectrum. This signifies that the formation of the metallic surface goes beyond a straightforward chemical doping scenario and occurs in conjunction with profound changes in the initial states and/or spatial distribution of near-$E_{F}$ electrons in the surface region.
