摘要:

近年来,人们迅速发现了低能电子具有无质量线性色散的固体,如外尔、线结和狄拉克半金属。在这些材料中预测的显着的光学性质显示了它们在光电用途上的多方面潜力。然而,人们对它们吸收光子后在皮秒内的反应知之甚少。在这里,我们测量的超快动力学的四种材料,共享非平凡的能带结构拓扑结构,但不同的化学,结构,并在其低能量的能带结构:ZrSiS,其中主机的狄拉克线节点和狄拉克点; TaAs和NbP,这是Weyl半金属;和Sr $_{1-y}$ Mn $_{1-z}$ Sb $_2$,其中狄拉克费米子共存的时间反演对称性破缺。在短脉冲光激发后,所有四个弛豫分两个阶段,第一个亚皮秒,然后几皮秒。它们的快速弛豫表明,这些材料和相关材料可能适用于光学开关和快速红外探测器。折射率的复杂变化表明,光激发载流子的人口持续几皮秒。

英文摘要:

Recent years have seen the rapid discovery of solids whose low-energy electrons have a massless, linear dispersion, such as Weyl, line-node, and Dirac semimetals. The remarkable optical properties predicted in these materials show their versatile potential for optoelectronic uses. However, little is known of their response in the picoseconds after absorbing a photon. Here we measure the ultrafast dynamics of four materials that share non-trivial band structure topology but that differ chemically, structurally, and in their low-energy band structures: ZrSiS, which hosts a Dirac line node and Dirac points; TaAs and NbP, which are Weyl semimetals; and Sr$_{1-y}$Mn$_{1-z}$Sb$_2$, in which Dirac fermions coexist with broken time-reversal symmetry. After photoexcitation by a short pulse, all four relax in two stages, first sub-picosecond, and then few-picosecond. Their rapid relaxation suggests that these and related materials may be suited for optical switches and fast infrared detectors. The complex change of refractive index shows that photoexcited carrier populations persist for a few picoseconds.
