摘要:

内禀磁性拓扑绝缘体(TI)是一种具有内禀磁性有序性和拓扑电子态的化学计量磁性化合物。这样的材料可以提供一个捷径,各种新的拓扑量子效应,但仍然难以捉摸的实验至今。在这里,我们报告的实验实现高品质的薄膜的内禀磁性TI-MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$ -通过交替生长的Bi $_2$ Te $_3$五层和MnTe双层分子束外延。该材料在角分辨光电子能谱中显示出典型的狄拉克表面态,通过磁性和输运测量以及第一性原理计算,证明该材料是具有铁磁表面的反铁磁拓扑绝缘体.独特的磁性和拓扑电子结构及其相互作用使材料能够以良好的控制方式体现丰富的量子相,例如量子反常霍尔绝缘体和轴子绝缘体。

英文摘要:

Intrinsic magnetic topological insulator (TI) is a stoichiometric magnetic compound possessing both inherent magnetic order and topological electronic states. Such a material can provide a shortcut to various novel topological quantum effects but remains elusive experimentally so far. Here, we report the experimental realization of high-quality thin films of an intrinsic magnetic TI---MnBi$_2$Te$_4$---by alternate growth of a Bi$_2$Te$_3$ quintuple-layer and a MnTe bilayer with molecular beam epitaxy. The material shows the archetypical Dirac surface states in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and is demonstrated to be an antiferromagnetic topological insulator with ferromagnetic surfaces by magnetic and transport measurements as well as first-principles calculations. The unique magnetic and topological electronic structures and their interplays enable the material to embody rich quantum phases such as quantum anomalous Hall insulators and axion insulators in a well-controlled way.
