摘要:

利用宽带吸收光谱研究了磁控溅射制备的高质量少层拓扑绝缘体Bi2Se3薄膜的光学带隙特性。我们提供了直接的光学证据的刚性蓝移到0.5 eV的Bi2Se3的带隙,因为它接近二维极限。这种行为的开始在六个五重层以下是最显著的。蓝移是非常稳健的,并且在受保护的(加盖的)和暴露的(未加盖的)薄膜中都观察到。我们的结果与观察结果一致,即有限尺寸效应对拓扑绝缘体的电子特性有着深刻的影响,特别是当顶和底表面态耦合时。我们的研究结果提供了新的见解,并需要更深入的调查,拓扑材料的标度行为之前,他们可以对电子应用产生重大影响。

英文摘要:

Optical band gap properties of high-quality few-layer topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films grown with magnetron sputtering are investigated using broadband absorption spectroscopy. We provide direct optical evidence of a rigid blue-shift to up to 0.5 eV in the band gap of Bi2Se3 as it approaches the two-dimensional limit. The onset of this behavior is most significant below six quintuple layers. The blue shift is very robust and is observed in both protected (capped) and exposed (uncapped) thin films. Our results are consistent with observations that finite-size effects have profound impact on the electronic character of topological insulators, particularly when the top and bottom surface states are coupled. Our result provides new insights, and the need for deeper investigations, into the scaling behavior of topological materials before they can have significant impact on electronic applications.
