摘要:

采用分子束外延(MBE)技术在石墨化的6 H-SiC(0001)衬底上生长了单层1 T '-WTe 2薄膜,并用扫描隧道显微镜/光谱仪(STM/STS)对其电子结构进行了表征。我们证明了单层WTe 2岛的外围拓扑边缘状态的存在。令人惊讶的是,我们还发现了带隙在体和半导体行为的单层WTe 2在低温下,这可能是由于一个不相称的电荷密度波(CDW)的转变。因此,在单层过渡金属二硫属化物(TMD)中实现二维拓扑绝缘体(2D TI)为进一步探索2D TI的物理和相关应用提供了一个有前途的平台。

英文摘要:

We grow nearly freestanding single-layer 1T'-WTe2 on graphitized 6H-SiC(0001) by using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and characterize its electronic structure with scanning tunneling microscopy / spectroscopy (STM/STS). We demonstrate the existence of topological edge states at the periphery of single-layer WTe2 islands. Surprisingly, we also find a band gap in the bulk and the semiconducting behaviors of the single-layer WTe2 at low temperature, which is likely resulted from an incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) transition. The realization of two-dimensional topological insulators (2D TIs) in single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) thus provides a promising platform for further exploration of the 2D TIs' physics and related applications.
