摘要:

拓扑绝缘体上的无带隙表面态可以避免非磁性杂质的弹性散射,这使得它们成为低功率电子应用的有希望的候选者。然而,对于广泛的应用,这些状态应该保持相干,并在环境温度下显着自旋极化。在这里,我们研究的相干性和自旋结构的拓扑状态的表面上的模型拓扑绝缘体,Bi 2 Se 3,在高温下的自旋和角度分辨光电子能谱。我们发现一个非常弱的加宽和基本上没有衰减的自旋极化的拓扑表面状态到室温。我们的研究结果表明,拓扑绝缘体表面的拓扑态可以作为室温电子器件的基础。

英文摘要:

Gapless surface states on topological insulators are protected from elastic scattering on non-magnetic impurities which makes them promising candidates for low-power electronic applications. However, for wide-spread applications, these states should remain coherent and significantly spin polarized at ambient temperatures. Here, we studied the coherence and spin-structure of the topological states on the surface of a model topological insulator, Bi2Se3, at elevated temperatures in spin and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We found an extremely weak broadening and essentially no decay of spin polarization of the topological surface state up to room temperature. Our results demonstrate that the topological states on surfaces of topological insulators could serve as a basis for room temperature electronic devices.
