摘要:

Weyl半金属(WSM)是一种含有基本粒子--Weyl费米子的新型材料,其表面具有Weyl费米子的体态和拓扑表面态。WSM被认为是一个三维版本的“石墨烯”的错觉。为了探索WSM TaAs的光电特性及其在光子学和光电子学中的应用,本文研究了WSM TaAs的各向异性线性和非线性光学响应,这些响应是由其拓扑表面态和Weyl节点之间的关系和平衡决定的.我们证明了打破体对称性的拓扑表面态是导致迁移率各向异性的原因,并且各向异性非线性响应具有极大的饱和强度.我们还发现,室温下迁移率是各向异性的,量级为104 cm 2 V-1 s-1,并且可以被光场加速。通过对称性分析,非线性响应主要由外尔节点附近的费米子贡献,并与泡利对费米子的阻塞、电子-电子相互作用有关。实验发现了WSM在光场中的各向异性迁移率,为WSM在光子学和光电子学中的应用奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

A Weyl semimetal (WSM) features Weyl fermions in its bulk and topological surface states on surfaces, and is novel material hosting Weyl fermions, a kind of fundamental particles. The WSM was regarded as a three-dimensional version of "graphene" under the illusion. In order to explore its promising photoelectric properties and applications in photonics and photoelectronics, here, we study the anisotropic linear and nonlinear optical responses of a WSM TaAs, which are determined by the relationship and balance between its topological surface states and Weyl nodes. We demonstrate that topological surface states which break the bulk symmetry are responsible for the anisotropy of the mobility, and the anisotropic nonlinear response shows saturable characteristic with extremely large saturable intensity. We also find that the mobility is anisotropic with the magnitude of 104 cm2V-1s-1 at room temperature and can be accelerated by the optical field. By analyzing the symmetry, the nonlinear response is mainly contributed by the fermions close to the Weyl nodes, and is related to the Pauli's blocking of fermions, electron-electron interaction. This work experimentally discovers the anisotropic ultrahigh mobility of WSMs in the optical field and may start the field for the applications of WSMs in photonics and photoelectronics.
