摘要:

最近在物质拓扑态领域的进展(1,2)主要是由铋和锑硫属化物块体拓扑绝缘体(TI)的发现(3-6)开始的,随后是密切相关的三元化合物(7-16)和几个弱TI的预测(17-19)。然而,Z $_2$分类的概念丰富性以及它们的结构和成分多样性都远未被充分利用。在准一维碘化铋Bi $_4$ I $_4$的$β$ -相中,理论预测并实验证实了一种新的Z $_2$拓扑绝缘体. $β$ -Bi $_4$ I $_4$的电子结构由Z $_2$不变量(1;110)表征,接近于弱TI相(0;001)和平凡绝缘体相(0;000).我们在(001)表面上的角分辨光电子能谱测量揭示了位于表面布里渊区点处的高度各向异性的带交叉特征,并且没有显示出光子能量的色散,因此与理论预测完全一致。

英文摘要:

Recent progress in the field of topological states of matter(1,2) has largely been initiated by the discovery of bismuth and antimony chalcogenide bulk topological insulators (TIs)(3-6), followed by closely related ternary compounds(7-16) and predictions of several weak TIs(17-19). However, both the conceptual richness of Z$_2$ classification of TIs as well as their structural and compositional diversity are far from being fully exploited. Here, a new Z$_2$ topological insulator is theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed in the $β$-phase of quasi-one-dimensional bismuth iodide Bi$_4$I$_4$. The electronic structure of $β$-Bi$_4$I$_4$, characterized by Z$_2$ invariants (1;110), is in proximity of both the weak TI phase (0;001) and the trivial insulator phase (0;000). Our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on the (001) surface reveal a highly anisotropic band-crossing feature located at the point of the surface Brillouin zone and showing no dispersion with the photon energy, thus being fully consistent with the theoretical prediction.
