磁性杂质和Rashba无序对螺旋边态的背散射

Backscattering in helical edge states from a magnetic impurity and Rashba disorder

Lukas Kimme, Bernd Rosenow, Arne Brataas

摘要:

量子自旋霍尔绝缘体的螺旋边缘状态的传输实验的特点是由一个弱的温度依赖的平均自由程的几微米和可重复的电导振荡,挑战提出的理论解释。我们考虑一个模型,其中边缘电子经历空间随机Rashba自旋轨道耦合,并耦合到自旋S >= 1/2的磁性杂质。在有限偏置稳态下,当S > 1/2时,我们发现了一个与温度相关的杂质感生电阻,这与实验结果一致。由于后向散射是弹性的,不同散射体之间的干涉可能解释电导波动。

英文摘要:

Transport by helical edge states of a quantum spin Hall insulator is experimentally characterized by a weakly temperature-dependent mean free path of a few microns and by reproducible conductance oscillations, challenging proposed theoretical explanations. We consider a model where edge electrons experience spatially random Rashba spin-orbit coupling and couple to a magnetic impurity with spin S >= 1/2. In a finite bias steady state, we find for S > 1/2 an impurity induced resistance with a temperature dependence in agreement with experiments. Since backscattering is elastic, interference between different scatterers possibly explains conductance fluctuations.
