中心对称拓扑绝缘体相对论k.p哈密顿量的从头计算波函数

Relativistic k.p Hamiltonians for centrosymmetric topological insulators from ab initio wave functions

I. A. Nechaev, E. E. Krasovskii

摘要:

我们提出了一种方法来微观推导出一个小尺寸的k $\cdot$ p哈密顿量的物理选择的从头算旋量波函数的希尔伯特空间。不施加任何互补的对称性约束,我们的形式主义同样对待三维和二维系统,同时产生的哈密顿参数和真正的$\mathbb{Z}_2$拓扑不变。我们考虑Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$、Bi $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$和Sb $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$的体晶和薄膜。结果表明,有效的连续k $\cdot$ p模型在开边界条件下往往不能正确地预测薄膜的拓扑特征。

英文摘要:

We present a method to microscopically derive a small-size k$\cdot$p Hamiltonian in a Hilbert space spanned by physically chosen ab initio spinor wave functions. Without imposing any complementary symmetry constraints, our formalism equally treats three- and two-dimensional systems and simultaneously yields the Hamiltonian parameters and the true $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariant. We consider bulk crystals and thin films of Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$, Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$, and Sb$_{2}$Te$_{3}$. It turns out that the effective continuous k$\cdot$p models with open boundary conditions often incorrectly predict the topological character of thin films.
