摘要:

磁掺杂拓扑绝缘体中出现了量子反常霍尔效应。虽然它的一般现象学已经很好地建立起来,但微观起源远未得到正确的理解和控制。在这里,我们报告的过渡金属(TM)掺杂的Sb $_2$ Te $_3$的详细和系统的调查。通过将密度泛函理论(DFT)计算与补充实验技术相结合,即,扫描隧道显微镜(STM),共振光电子能谱(resPES)和X射线磁性圆二色性(XMCD),我们提供了一个完整的光谱表征的电子和磁性。我们的研究结果表明,TM掺杂剂不仅影响主体材料的磁性状态,而且还通过产生杂质衍生的能带来显著改变电子结构。我们的研究结果表明,存在一个微妙的电子和磁性之间的相互作用,在TM掺杂的TI。特别是,我们发现,拓扑表面状态的命运严重依赖于特定的字符的TM杂质:而V-和Fe掺杂的Sb $_2$ Te $_3$显示共振杂质状态的狄拉克点附近,铬和锰杂质离开的能隙不受影响。单离子磁各向异性能量和易磁化轴,控制磁隙开口和它的稳定性,也被发现是强烈TM杂质依赖性,可以从平面内到平面外的杂质和它的距离从表面而定。总体而言,我们的研究结果提供了一个强大的QAHE在TM掺杂的Sb $_2$ Te $_3$在铁磁状态下的实现的一般指导方针。

英文摘要:

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) has recently been reported to emerge in magnetically-doped topological insulators. Although its general phenomenology is well established, the microscopic origin is far from being properly understood and controlled. Here we report on a detailed and systematic investigation of transition-metal (TM)-doped Sb$_2$Te$_3$. By combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with complementary experimental techniques, i.e., scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), resonant photoemission (resPES), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), we provide a complete spectroscopic characterization of both electronic and magnetic properties. Our results reveal that the TM dopants not only affect the magnetic state of the host material, but also significantly alter the electronic structure by generating impurity-derived energy bands. Our findings demonstrate the existence of a delicate interplay between electronic and magnetic properties in TM-doped TIs. In particular, we find that the fate of the topological surface states critically depends on the specific character of the TM impurity: while V- and Fe-doped Sb$_2$Te$_3$ display resonant impurity states in the vicinity of the Dirac point, Cr and Mn impurities leave the energy gap unaffected. The single-ion magnetic anisotropy energy and easy axis, which control the magnetic gap opening and its stability, are also found to be strongly TM impurity-dependent and can vary from in-plane to out-of-plane depending on the impurity and its distance from the surface. Overall, our results provide general guidelines for the realization of a robust QAHE in TM-doped Sb$_2$Te$_3$ in the ferromagnetic state.
