摘要:

凝聚态物质中的无质量狄拉克电子引起了人们的广泛关注。与传统的电子不同,狄拉克电子是以双分量波函数的形式描述的。在拓扑绝缘体的表面态中,这两个分量与自旋自由度相关联,因此支配磁性。因此,双分量波函数的观测为探索新的自旋现象提供了有用的线索。在这里,我们表明,两个组件的性质表现在朗道能级(LLS)的简并解除库仑势。使用光谱成像扫描隧道显微镜,我们可视化的能量和空间结构的LLS在拓扑绝缘体Bi 2 Se 3。所观察到的潜在的诱导LL分裂和内部结构的朗道轨道是不同于那些在一个传统的电子系统,以及复制的两个组件模型狄拉克哈密顿量。我们的模型进一步预测了非平凡的能量依赖的自旋磁化纹理的潜在变化。这提供了一种在拓扑表面状态中操纵自旋的方法。

英文摘要:

Massless Dirac electrons in condensed matter have attracted considerable attention. Unlike conventional electrons, Dirac electrons are described in the form of two-component wave functions. In the surface state of topological insulators, these two components are associated with the spin degrees of freedom, hence governing the magnetic properties. Therefore, the observation of the two-component wave function provides a useful clue for exploring the novel spin phenomena. Here we show that the two-component nature is manifested in the Landau levels (LLs) whose degeneracy is lifted by a Coulomb potential. Using spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy, we visualize energy and spatial structures of LLs in a topological insulator Bi2Se3. The observed potential-induced LL splitting and internal structures of Landau orbits are distinct from those in a conventional electron system and are well reproduced by a two-component model Dirac Hamiltonian. Our model further predicts non-trivial energy-dependent spin-magnetization textures in a potential variation. This provides a way to manipulate spins in the topological surface state.
