摘要:

研究了在周期性栅电压驱动下,拓扑绝缘体表面点状杂质对狄拉克电子的散射。研究发现,由于不同Floquet边带的二重态简并交叉点,即使不破坏拓扑表面态(TSS)的时间反演(TR)对称性,表面电子也可以发生共振背散射.能谱以与圆偏振光完全不同的方式重新洗牌,从而在局域电荷和自旋态密度的Friedel振荡中表现出新的特征。尽管电子散射被驱动电压显著地改变,但是对于TSS,自旋旋进的$1/ρ$标度定律仍然存在。TR不变后向散射提供了一种可能的方法来设计TSS的Dirac电子光谱,而不破坏TSS的自旋-动量互锁的独特性质。

英文摘要:

We study the scattering of the Dirac electrons by a point-like nonmagnetic impurity on the surface of a topological insulator, driven by a time-periodic gate voltage. It is found that, due to the doublet degenerate crossing points of different Floquet sidebands, resonant backscattering can happen for the surface electrons, even without breaking the time-reversal (TR) symmetry of the topological surface states (TSSs). The energy spectrum is reshuffled in a way quite different from that for the circularly polarized light, so that new features are exhibited in the Friedel oscillations of the local charge and spin density of states. Although the electron scattering is dramatically modified by the driving voltage, the $1/ρ$ scale law of the spin precession persists for the TSSs. The TR invariant backscattering provides a possible way to engineer the Dirac electronic spectrum of the TSSs, without destroying the unique property of spin-momentum interlocking of the TSSs.
