磁性拓扑绝缘体薄膜中的量子输运

Quantum Transport in Magnetic Topological Insulator Thin Films

Hai-Zhou Lu, An Zhao, Shun-Qing Shen

摘要:

最近报道了在磁掺杂的拓扑绝缘体薄膜中长期寻求的量子反常霍尔效应的实验观察[Chang等人,Science 340,167(2013)]。一个有趣的观察是从霍尔电导的量化平台快速下降,伴随着作为栅极电压的函数的纵向电导的峰值。在这里,我们提出了一个量子输运理论与磁性拓扑绝缘体薄膜的有效模型。理论和实验之间的良好的一致性表明,所测量的运输起源于一个拓扑非平凡的导带,其带边附近,集中的Berry曲率和局部最大群速度。同时也揭示了破缺结构反演和粒子-空穴对称性的不可或缺的作用。研究结果对今后基于第一性原理计算的实验和输运研究具有指导意义。

英文摘要:

The experimental observation of the long-sought quantum anomalous Hall effect was recently reported in magnetically doped topological insulator thin films [Chang et al., Science 340, 167 (2013)]. An intriguing observation is a rapid decrease from the quantized plateau in the Hall conductance, accompanied by a peak in the longitudinal conductance as a function of the gate voltage. Here, we present a quantum transport theory with an effective model for magnetic topological insulator thin films. The good agreement between theory and experiment reveals that the measured transport originates from a topologically nontrivial conduction band which, near its band edge, has concentrated Berry curvature and a local maximum in group velocity. The indispensable roles of the broken structure inversion and particle-hole symmetries are also revealed. The results are instructive for future experiments and transport studies based on first-principles calculations.
