摘要:

过渡金属五碲化物ZrTe 5是凝聚态物理中的一种多功能材料,自20世纪80年代以来一直被广泛研究。ZrTe 5最吸引人的特点是它是一种3D狄拉克半金属,在动量空间的所有三维空间都具有线性能量色散。在结构方面,ZrTe 5是一种通过弱的层间范德华力保持在一起的层状材料。其独特的能带结构和二维原子结构的结合为ZrTe 5中与3D狄拉克半要素相关的更多潜在奇异物理现象提供了肥沃的土壤。然而,其少层形式的物理特性尚未被彻底探索。在这里,我们报告强的光学和电学面内各向异性的机械剥离的几层ZrTe 5。拉曼光谱显示出随样品取向的显著强度变化,并通过理论计算解释了角分辨声子模在伽马点的行为。直流电导测量表明沿不同的面内方向有50%的差异。电阻率异常在少层样品中的减小表明能带结构随厚度的减小而演化。低温霍尔实验揭示了更多的内在各向异性电输运,空穴迁移率分别为3,000和1,500 cm 2/Vs沿a轴和c轴。在低温下观察到明显的磁阻量子振荡,最高电子迁移率高达44,000 cm 2/Vs。

英文摘要:

Transition metal pentatelluride ZrTe5 is a versatile material in condensed-matter physics and has been intensively studied since the 1980s. The most fascinating feature of ZrTe5 is that it is a 3D Dirac semimetal which has linear energy dispersion in all three dimensions in momentum space. Structure-wise, ZrTe5 is a layered material held together by weak interlayer van der Waals force. The combination of its unique band structure and 2D atomic structure provides a fertile ground for more potential exotic physical phenomena in ZrTe5 related to 3D Dirac semimentals. However the physical properties of its few-layer form have yet to be thoroughly explored. Here we report strong optical and electrical in-plane anisotropy of mechanically exfoliated few-layer ZrTe5. Raman spectroscopy shows significant intensity change with sample orientations, and the behavior of angle-resolved phonon modes at the gamma point is explained by theoretical calculation. DC conductance measurement indicates a 50% of difference along different in-plane directions. The diminishing of resistivity anomaly in few-layer samples indicates the evolution of band structure with reduced thickness. Low-temperature Hall experiment sheds lights on more intrinsic anisotropic electrical transport, with hole mobility of 3,000 and 1,500 cm2/Vs along a-axis and c-axis respectively. Pronounced quantum oscillations in magneto-resistance are observed at low temperatures with highest electron mobility up to 44,000 cm2/Vs.
