三维拓扑绝缘体表面的电输运现象

Purely Surface Electric Transport Phenomenon on a Three-Dimensional Topological Insulator

Tetsuro Habe, Yasuhiro Asano

摘要:

基于线性响应理论,研究了三维拓扑绝缘体在时域振荡磁场作用下的感应电流。表面态的二维线性色散和费米面上的手征自旋织构使电流在其表面流动。另一方面,在体区中,由于体带的简并,电流不存在。当磁场的频率等于从狄拉克节点测得的表面态费米能的两倍时,响应函数具有峰值结构。这一特征是三维拓扑绝缘体表面态所特有的。

英文摘要:

We theoretically study the electric current induced by the temporally oscillating magnetic field onto a three-dimensional topological insulator based on the linear response theory. The electric current flows on its surface because of the unique characters of the surface states: the linear dispersion in two-dimension and the chiral spin texture on the Fermi surface. In the bulk region, on the other hand, the current is absent because of the degeneracy for the bulk bands. The response function has a peak structure when the frequency of the magnetic field is equal to twice of the Fermi energy of the surface states measured from the Dirac node. This feature is unique to the surface states on the three-dimensional topological insulator.
