两个拓扑绝缘体结中无隙界面态的鲁棒性

Robustness of Gapless Interface State in a Junction of Two Topological Insulators

Tetsuro Habe, Yasuhiro Asano

摘要:

本文从理论上研究了两个具有不同自旋轨道相互作用构型的三维拓扑绝缘体之间界面上的亚能隙态。自旋$\boldsymbolσ$与动量$\boldsymbol{p}$的耦合由材料相关的$3\times 3$矩阵$\boldsymbolΛ$配置为$σ^μΛ_μ^νp_ν$。结果表明,界面能态的光谱强烈依赖于两种拓扑绝缘体中$\boldsymbolΛ$的相对选择。特别地,我们着重研究了当两个拓扑绝缘体中的$\boldsymbolΛ$通过动量空间的反转连接时出现的无隙态的性质。我们还通过数值模拟讨论了无带隙态在时间反演对称性和带反转对称性扰动下的鲁棒性。

英文摘要:

We theoretically study subgap states appearing at the interface between two three-dimensional topological insulators which have different configurations in the spin-orbit interactions from each other. The coupling of spin $\boldsymbolσ$ with momenta $\boldsymbol{p}$ is configured by a material dependent $3\times 3$ matrix $\boldsymbolΛ$ as $σ^μΛ_μ^νp_ν$. We show that the spectra of the interface suggap states depend strongly on the relative choices of $\boldsymbolΛ$ in the two topological insulators. In particular, we focus on properties of gapless states which appear when $\boldsymbolΛ$ in two topological insulators are connected by the inversion in momentum space. We also discuss the robustness of the gapless states under perturbations breaking the time-reversal symmetry or the band-inversion symmetry by the numerical simulation.
