摘要:

拓扑绝缘体是物质的一种新的量子态。它们的表面和界面作为一个拓扑边界,产生无质量的狄拉克费米子与自旋螺旋纹理。研究狄拉克点附近的费米子动力学对拓扑绝缘体自旋电子器件的未来发展至关重要。然而,迄今为止的研究一直是不令人满意的,因为大量的重叠与体价带和缺乏一个完全未被占用的狄拉克点(DP)。在这里,我们探索表面狄拉克费米子动力学的TI Sb $_2$ Te $_3$的时间和角度分辨光电子能谱(TRARPES)。Sb $_2$ Te $_3$具有完全位于费米能($E_F$)之上的DP,具有带隙内DP。上狄拉克锥中的受激电子比狄拉克点以下的受激电子停留更长的时间,以形成反转的布居。这归因于DP附近的态密度(DOS)降低。

英文摘要:

Topological insulators (TIs) are a new quantum state of matter. Their surfaces and interfaces act as a topological boundary to generate massless Dirac fermions with spin-helical textures. Investigation of fermion dynamics near the Dirac point is crucial for the future development of spintronic devices incorporating topological insulators. However, research so far has been unsatisfactory because of a substantial overlap with the bulk valence band and a lack of a completely unoccupied Dirac point (DP). Here, we explore the surface Dirac fermion dynamics in the TI Sb$_2$Te$_3$ by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TrARPES). Sb$_2$Te$_3$ has a DP located completely above the Fermi energy ($E_F$) with an in-gap DP. The excited electrons in the upper Dirac cone stay longer than those below the Dirac point to form an inverted population. This was attributed to a reduced density of states (DOS) near the DP .
