类石墨烯体系中的边缘态

Edge states in graphene-like systems

J. L. Lado, N. Garcia-Martinez, J. Fernandez-Rossier

摘要:

石墨烯和类石墨烯系统的边缘可以具有与体中的狄拉克电子的性质完全不同的具有渐逝波函数的定域态。这发生在各种情况下,在这里审查。第一,锯齿形的边缘主机的狄拉克能量的一组本地化的非色散状态。在半填充时,预计这些状态容易发生铁磁不稳定性,导致非常有趣的边缘铁磁性类型。第二,石墨烯在外部扰动的影响下可以具有各种拓扑绝缘相,包括常规的量子霍尔效应、量子反常霍尔(QAH)和量子自旋霍尔相,在所有这些相中,传导只能通过拓扑保护的边缘状态发生。在这里,我们提供了一个统一的视野的所有这些边缘状态的属性,检查下的光相同的一个轨道紧束缚模型。我们考虑了相互作用、自旋轨道耦合和磁场的共同作用,这些共同作用产生了丰富的不同物理现象。我们简单地讨论一下实验中实际观察到的情况。

英文摘要:

The edges of graphene and graphene like systems can host localized states with evanescent wave function with properties radically different from those of the Dirac electrons in bulk. This happens in a variety of situations, that are reviewed here. First, zigzag edges host a set of localized non dispersive state at the Dirac energy. At half filling, it is expected that these states are prone to ferromagnetic instability, causing a very interesting type of edge ferromagnetism. Second, graphene under the influence of external perturbations can host a variety of topological insulating phases, including the conventional Quantum Hall effect, the Quantum Anomalous Hall (QAH) and the Quantum Spin Hall phase, in all of which phases conduction can only take place through topologically protected edge states. Here we provide an unified vision of the properties of all these edge states, examined under the light of the same one orbital tight-binding model. We consider the combined action of interactions, spin orbit coupling and magnetic field, which produces a wealth of different physical phenomena. We briefly address what has been actually observed experimentally.
