摘要:

拓扑绝缘体是一类固体,其中非平凡的反向体能带结构产生对杂质散射鲁棒的金属表面态。然而,在三维(3D)拓扑绝缘体中,表面狄拉克费米子与导电体混合,从而使获得低能(狄拉克点)电荷传输或磁响应变得复杂。在这里,我们使用差分磁力测量来探测3D拓扑材料族(Bi $_2$ Se $_3$、Bi $_2$ Te $_3$和Sb $_2$ Te $_3$)中的自旋旋转。我们报告了一个顺磁奇异的磁化率在低磁场,持续到室温,我们证明所产生的样品的表面。奇异性是普遍的整个家庭,在很大程度上独立的散装载流子密度,并与附近的自旋简并狄拉克点的2D螺旋金属的电子状态的存在是一致的。异常的热稳定性的信号点的内在表面冷却过程中,可能的热电起源,并建立了一个可持续的平台,奇异场可调狄拉克自旋响应。

英文摘要:

Topological insulators are a class of solids in which the nontrivial inverted bulk band structure gives rise to metallic surface states that are robust against impurity scattering. In three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators, however, the surface Dirac fermions intermix with the conducting bulk, thereby complicating access to the low energy (Dirac point) charge transport or magnetic response. Here we use differential magnetometry to probe spin rotation in the 3D topological material family (Bi$_2$Se$_3$, Bi$_2$Te$_3$, and Sb$_2$Te$_3$). We report a paramagnetic singularity in the magnetic susceptibility at low magnetic fields which persists up to room temperature, and which we demonstrate to arise from the surfaces of the samples. The singularity is universal to the entire family, largely independent of the bulk carrier density, and consistent with the existence of electronic states near the spin-degenerate Dirac point of the 2D helical metal. The exceptional thermal stability of the signal points to an intrinsic surface cooling process, likely of thermoelectric origin, and establishes a sustainable platform for the singular field-tunable Dirac spin response.
