拓扑绝缘体的自旋织构、霍尔电导率和圆二色性的Hisonal翘曲

Hexagonal warping on spin texture, Hall conductivity and circular dichroism of Topological Insulator

Zhou Li, J. P. Carbotte

摘要:

由于哈密顿量中的六角弯曲项,当化学势增加到狄拉克点以上时,拓扑绝缘体表面上的拓扑保护电子态可以逐渐地将它们的费米截面从圆形改变为雪花形状。翘曲的另一个效果是改变自旋织构,当通过磁性掺杂包括有限间隙时存在自旋织构,尽管面内自旋分量保持垂直于动量锁定。它还改变轨道磁矩、光吸收矩阵元和圆二色性。我们发现自旋z分量的费米面平均值与Berry相的大小密切相关。即使当哈密顿量除了占主导地位的相对论狄拉克项之外还包括一个次主导的非相对论二次项的动量项(这提供了粒子-空穴不对称性)时,这也成立。在$\left\langle S_z \right\rangle$和二色性之间也存在定性相关性。对于化学势落在价带和导带之间的间隙内的情况,霍尔电导率保持量子化并且不受六边形翘曲项的影响。

英文摘要:

The topological protected electronic states on the surface of a topological insulator can progressively change their Fermi cross-section from circular to a snowflake shape as the chemical potential is increased above the Dirac point because of an hexagonal warping term in the Hamiltonian. Another effect of warping is to change the spin texture which exists when a finite gap is included by magnetic doping, although the in-plane spin component remains locked perpendicular to momentum. It also changes the orbital magnetic moment, the matrix element for optical absorption and the circular dichroism. We find that the Fermi surface average of z-component of spin is closely related to the value of the Berry phase. This holds even when the Hamiltonian includes a subdominant non-relativistic quadratic in momentum term (which provides particle-hole asymmetry) in addition to the dominant relativistic Dirac term. There is also a qualitative correlation between $\left\langle S_z \right\rangle$ and the dichroism. For the case when the chemical potential falls inside the gap between valence and conduction band, the Hall conductivity remains quantized and unaffected in value by the hexagonal warping term.
