摘要:

系统的角度分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)实验研究了拓扑混合价绝缘体候选物YbB 6的体电子结构和(100)表面电子结构。用体灵敏软X射线ARPES探测了YbB 6的体态,其显示出立方对称性所要求的强三维性。令人惊讶的是,测得的Yb 4f态位于费米能级(EF)以下约1 eV和2.3 eV,而不是如第一原理计算所示的接近EF。EF附近的色散带是B2 p态,它与4f态杂化。利用表面灵敏的真空紫外ARPES,我们揭示了二维表面态,形成三个类电子费米面(FS)与Dirac-cone-like色散。奇数个表面FS给出了第一个指示,YbB 6是一个适度相关的拓扑绝缘体。自旋分辨的ARPES测量提供了进一步的证据,这些表面状态的自旋极化与自旋锁定的晶体动量。我们已经观察到第二组具有不同拓扑结构的表面态(孔状口袋)。条带的清晰折叠表明它们来自1X 2重建表面。重构表面态的拓扑性质有待进一步研究。

英文摘要:

Systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments have been carried out to investigate the bulk and (100) surface electronic structures of a topological mixed-valence insulator candidate, YbB6. The bulk states of YbB6 were probed with bulk-sensitive soft X-ray ARPES, which show strong three-dimensionality as required by cubic symmetry. Surprisingly the measured Yb 4f states are located around 1 eV and 2.3 eV below the Fermi level (EF), instead of being near EF as indicated by first principle calculations. The dispersive bands near EF are B 2p states, which hybridize with the 4f states. Using surface-sensitive vacuum-ultraviolet ARPES, we revealed two-dimensional surface states which form three electron-like Fermi surfaces (FSs) with Dirac-cone-like dispersions. The odd number of surface FSs gives the first indication that YbB6 is a moderately correlated topological insulator. The spin-resolved ARPES measurements provide further evidence that these surface states are spin polarized with spin locked to the crystal momentum. We have observed a second set of surface states with different topology (hole-like pockets). Clear folding of the bands suggest their origin from a 1X2 reconstructed surface. The topological property of the reconstructed surface states needs further studies.
