摘要:

我们进行了点接触(PC)的WTe 2单晶的调查。我们测量了WTe 2中电子-声子相互作用(EPI)的Yanson d2 V/dI 2 PC谱。的光谱表明,主要的声子峰约8 meV和浅的第二个最大值附近16 meV。它们的位置与文献中WTe 2的EPI谱的计算一致,尽管在我们的PC谱中没有分辨出具有较高能量的声子。在声子能量之上存在对光谱的额外贡献,这可能与特殊的电子能带结构有关,需要澄清。我们在接近零偏压的d2 V/dI 2中检测到微小的超导特征,其随着温度的升高而变宽,并且在6 K以上变得模糊。因此,(表面)超导性可能存在于WTe 2的拓扑非平凡状态。我们发现在大电压(>200 mV)下dV/dI的宽最大值表明导电性从金属型变为半导体型。后者可能是由PC中的高电流密度(~10^8 A/cm^2)和/或局部加热引起的,从而能够操纵PC核中界面处的量子电子态。

英文摘要:

We carried out point contact (PC) investigation of WTe2 single crystals. We measured Yanson d2V/dI2 PC spectra of the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) in WTe2. The spectra demonstrate a main phonon peak around 8 meV and a shallow second maximum near 16 meV. Their position is in line with the calculation of the EPI spectra of WTe2 in the literature, albeit phonons with higher energy are not resolved in our PC spectra. An additional contribution to the spectra is present above the phonon energy, what may be connected with the peculiar electronic band structure and need to be clarified. We detected tiny superconducting features in d2V/dI2 close to zero bias, which broadens by increasing temperature and blurs above 6K. Thus, (surface) superconductivity may exist in WTe2 with a topologically nontrivial state. We found a broad maximum in dV/dI at large voltages (>200 mV) indicating change of conductivity from metallic to semiconducting type. The latter might be induced by the high current density (~10^8 A/cm^2) in the PC and/or local heating, thus enabling the manipulation of the quantum electronic states at the interface in the PC core.
