InAs/GaSb量子阱中的隐边Dirac点和稳健量子边输运

Hidden edge Dirac point and robust quantum edge transport in InAs/GaSb quantum wells

摘要:

磁场作用下InAs/GaSb量子阱中量子边输运的鲁棒性引起了时间反演对称性破缺下物质拓扑相命运的问题。揭示了InAs/GaSb量子阱中一种特殊的能带结构演化:电子子带与重空穴子带交叉,而与轻空穴子带反交叉.当系统处于深反转区时,螺旋边态的拓扑保护带交叉点(Dirac点)被拉向靠近甚至掩埋在体价带中,这归因于轻空穴子带的存在.通过边缘态的有效g因子验证的相当大的塞曼能隙在面内或垂直磁场的作用下在狄拉克点处打开,然而它也可以隐藏在体价带中。这为最近在强磁场作用下InAs/GaSb量子阱中量子边输运的鲁棒性观察提供了一个合理的解释。

英文摘要:

The robustness of quantum edge transport in InAs/GaSb quantum wells in the presence of magnetic fields raises an issue on the fate of topological phases of matter under time-reversal symmetry breaking. A peculiar band structure evolution in InAs/GaSb quantum wells is revealed: the electron subbands cross the heavy hole subbands but anticross the light hole subbands. The topologically protected band crossing point (Dirac point) of the helical edge states is pulled to be close to and even buried in the bulk valence bands when the system is in a deeply inverted regime, which is attributed to the existence of the light hole subbands. A sizable Zeeman energy gap verified by the effective g-factors of edge states opens at the Dirac point by an in-plane or perpendicular magnetic field, however it can also be hidden in the bulk valance bands. This provides a plausible explanation for the recent observation on the robustness of quantum edge transport in InAs/GaSb quantum wells subjected to strong magnetic fields.
