摘要:

在预测和随后发现强二维和三维拓扑绝缘体之后,具有强自旋轨道耦合的材料引起了人们的注意,其中绝缘体的体能带结构的拓扑性质导致具有Dirac-like色散的金属表面态。本文报道了角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)在钙钛矿超导体[$_4$ ] TlTePDMATHABMN(Tl 5 Te 3)及其非超导掺锡衍生物[Tl 4]($_{0.4}$ Sn $_{0.6}$)Te $_3$中发现的类Dirac表面态。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算预测了在Tl 5 Te 3的费米能级以上的$Z$点处的单个自旋轨道驱动的带宇称反转,表明表面态受到Z $_2$拓扑结构的保护。对[Tl $_4$ ]SnTe $_3$的计算没有显示出奇偶反转,这意味着在掺杂锡时必须发生从非平凡到平凡的拓扑转变,即,[Tl $_4$ ](Tl $_{1-x}$ Sn $_{x}$)Te $_3$。因此,[T1 $_4$ ]{ \it M}Te $_3$钙钛矿是可能的新的非三角形类的Z $_2$拓扑化合物。此外,由于Tl 5 Te 3是化学计量的大块超导体,这些钙钛矿是研究表面态和大块超导性之间相互作用的理想材料。

英文摘要:

Materials with strong spin-orbit coupling have attracted attention following the prediction and subsequent discovery of strong two- and three-dimensional topological insulators in which a topological property of the bulk band structure of an insulator results in metallic surface states with Dirac-like dispersion. Here we report the discovery of Dirac-like surface states in the perovskite superconductor [Tl$_4$]TlTe$_3$ (Tl5Te3) and its non-superconducting tin-doped derivative, [Tl4](Tl$_{0.4}$Sn$_{0.6}$)Te$_3$, as observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict a single spin-orbit driven band parity inversion at the $Z$ point above the Fermi level of Tl5Te3, suggesting the surface states are protected by Z$_2$ topology. Calculations on [Tl$_4$]SnTe$_3$ show no parity inversions, implying that a topological transition from non-trivial to trivial must occur upon doping with tin, i.e., [Tl$_4$](Tl$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$)Te$_3$. Thus [Tl$_4$]{\it M}Te$_3$ perovskites are a possible new, non-trigonal class of Z$_2$ topological compounds. Additionally, as Tl5Te3 is a stoichiometric bulk superconductor, these perovskites are ideal materials in which to study the interplay between surface states and bulk superconductivity.
