边缘吸附对Bi(111)双层膜拓扑边缘态输运性质的调控

Tuning Transport Properties of Topological Edge States of Bi(111) Bilayer Film by Edge Adsorption

Z. F. Wang, Li Chen, Feng Liu

摘要:

基于第一性原理和紧束缚计算,我们报道了Z字形Bi(111)纳米晶的H边吸附对拓扑边态输运性质的显著调控.随着狄拉克点从布里渊区边界向布里渊区中心移动,费米速度增加了一个数量级,使得狄拉克态的实空间分布离域化了两倍.这些有趣的变化被解释为边缘H原子的轨道过滤效应,其去除了边缘Bi原子的$p$轨道的某些成分,从而重塑了拓扑边缘状态。此外,还对狄拉克态的自旋织构进行了修正,引入了有效哈密顿量来描述狄拉克态的自旋织构。我们的研究结果不仅是基本的利益,但也有实际意义的潜在应用的拓扑绝缘体。

英文摘要:

Based on first-principles and tight-binding calculations, we report that the transport properties of topological edge states of zigzag Bi(111) nanoribbon can be significantly tuned by H edge adsorption. The Fermi velocity is increased by one order of magnitude, as the Dirac point is moved from Brillouin zone boundary to Brillouin zone center and the real-space distribution of Dirac states are made twice more delocalized. These intriguing changes are explained by an orbital filtering effect of edge H atoms, which removes certain components of $p$ orbits of edge Bi atoms that reshapes the topological edge states. In addition, the spin texture of the Dirac states is also modified, which is described by introducing an effective Hamiltonian. Our findings not only are of fundamental interest but also have practical implications in potential applications of topological insulators.
