摘要:

在这项工作中,我们推导出一个有效的哈密顿量的表面态的空心拓扑绝缘体(TI)纳米管的有限宽度的墙壁。与固体TI圆柱体不同,TI纳米管具有内表面和外表面,在其上,位于每个表面处的状态耦合在一起。沿着纳米管的圆周的曲率导致载流子经历的自旋轨道相互作用场的空间变化以及纳米管的内表面和外表面之间的不对称性。这两个特征导致在相同厚度的平坦TI薄膜的有效哈密顿量中不存在TI纳米管的有效哈密顿量。我们计算的\ce{Bi2Se3}纳米管的内,外半径的函数的参数的数值,并表明,不同的相对大小的参数之间的结果在定性上不同的行为的本征态的不同尺寸的管。

英文摘要:

In this work we derive an effective Hamiltonian for the surface states of a hollow topological insulator (TI) nanotube with finite width walls. Unlike a solid TI cylinder, a TI nanotube possesses both an inner as well as outer surface on which the states localized at each surface are coupled together. The curvature along the circumference of the nanotube leads to a spatial variation of the spin orbit interaction field experienced by the charge carriers as well as an asymmetry between the inner and outer surfaces of the nanotube. Both of these features result in terms in the effective Hamiltonian for a TI nanotube absent in that of a flat TI thin film of the same thickness. We calculate the numerical values of the parameters for a \ce{Bi2Se3} nanotube as a function of the inner and outer radius, and show that the differing relative magnitudes between the parameters result in qualitatively differing behaviour for the eigenstates of tubes of different dimensions.
