拓扑绝缘体双曲表面态的输运和STM研究

Transport and STM studies of hyperbolic surface states of topological insulators

Udit Khanna, Saurabh Pradhan, Sumathi Rao

摘要:

受拓扑表面态通过原子尺度台阶的输运的启发,我们研究了双曲表面上无带隙狄拉克费米子的输运。我们确认,独立的曲率的双曲线和尖锐的角落,没有后向散射发生和传输的拓扑表面状态是完全独立的几何形状(双曲线模型内)的表面。然而,状态的电子的密度,示出了凹阶边缘,可以通过STM尖端测量的下降。我们还表明,由极化扫描隧道探针测量的隧穿电导表现出非常规的依赖于作为表面的曲率和边缘的锐度的函数的尖端的磁化的极角和方位角。

英文摘要:

Motivated by the transmission of topological surface states through atomic scale steps, we study the transport of gapless Dirac fermions on hyperbolic surfaces. We confirm that, independent of the curvature of the hyperbolae and the sharpness of the corners, no backward scattering takes place and transmission of the topological surface states is completely independent of the geometrical shape (within the hyperbolic model) of the surface. The density of states of the electrons, however, shows a dip at concave step edges which can be measured by an STM tip. We also show that the tunneling conductance measured by a polarized scanning tunneling probe exhibits an unconventional dependence on the polar and azimuthal angles of the magnetization of the tip as a function of the curvature of the surface and the sharpness of the edge.
