摘要:

在3D拓扑绝缘体中,随着临界点处预期的磁场的增加,体能隙的有效闭合可以在无隙狄拉克节点处产生带交叉。使用高场磁光朗道能级谱的拓扑晶体绝缘体Pb 1-xSnxSe,我们证明,这样的间隙闭合不会发生,并观察到避免交叉作为磁场扫过的临界场。我们把这种反交叉归因于N=0能级的轨道宇称和自旋混合。同时,我们没有观察到间隙关闭的拓扑相变与温度的反交叉是拓扑相变的一般属性。

英文摘要:

In 3D topological insulators, an effective closure of the bulk energy gap with increasing magnetic field expected at a critical point can yield a band crossing at a gapless Dirac node. Using high-field magnetooptical Landau level spectroscopy on the topological crystalline insulator Pb1-xSnxSe, we demonstrate that such a gap closure does not occur, and an avoided crossing is observed as the magnetic field is swept through the critical field. We attribute this anticrossing to orbital parity and spin mixing of the N=0 levels. Concurrently, we observe no gap closure at the topological phase transition versus temperature suggesting that the anticrossing is a generic property of topological phase transitions.
