摘要:

最近,半金属化合物Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$被预测为磁性WSM,其外尔点仅高于费米能级($E_F$)60 meV。由于低的电荷载流子密度和大的Berry曲率,Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$同时具有大的反常霍尔电导率(AHC)和大的反常霍尔角(AHA),这为Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$中存在外尔点提供了强有力的证据。本文从理论上研究了Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$及其对应物Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ Se $_2$的表面拓扑结构。通过在弱Sn-S/Se键处裂解样品,可以获得分别以Sn和S/Se原子终止的两个不同表面。所得的费米弧相关状态的范围可以从外尔点的能量到Sn-终止表面中的$E_F$ -0.1 eV。因此,应该有可能在角度分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)测量中观察到费米弧。此外,为了模拟扫描隧道显微镜(STM)测量中的准粒子干涉(QPI),我们还计算了两端的联合态密度(JDOS)。这一工作将有助于全面理解这两种磁性WSM的拓扑性质以及进一步的ARPES和STM测量。

英文摘要:

Very recently, the half-metallic compound Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ was predicted to be a magnetic WSM with Weyl points only 60 meV above the Fermi level ($E_F$). Owing to the low charge carrier density and large Berry curvature induced,Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ possesses both a large anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) and a large anomalous Hall angle (AHA), which provide strong evidence for the existence of Weyl points in Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$. In this work, we theoretically studied the surface topological feature of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ and its counterpart Co$_3$Sn$_2$Se$_2$. By cleaving the sample at the weak Sn--S/Se bonds, one can achieve two different surfaces terminated with Sn and S/Se atoms, respectively. The resulting Fermi arc related states can range from the energy of the Weyl points to $E_F$--0.1 eV in the Sn-terminated surface. Therefore, it should be possible to observe the Fermi arcs in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. Furthermore, in order to simulate quasiparticle interference (QPI) in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements, we also calculated the joint density of states (JDOS) for both terminals. This work would be helpful for a comprehensive understanding of the topological properties of these two magnetic WSMs and further ARPES and STM measurements.
