摘要:

在10 K温度下研究了理想I型Weyl半金属TaAs在太赫兹(THz)和红外(IR)波段的光学反射率[$R(ω)$ ]和光学电导率[ $σ(ω)$ ]谱的磁场依赖性.所获得的$σ(ω)$光谱在太赫兹区域的$\hbarω\leq15$ meV的强烈影响所施加的磁场($B$):德鲁德光谱权重被迅速抑制和能隙起源于最低的朗道能级的光学跃迁出现与间隙的大小,增加成比例的$\sqrt{B}$,这表明线性带色散。理论预测,所获得的太赫兹$σ(ω)$光谱不仅可以用$\sqrt{B}$进行能量标度,而且可以用$1/\sqrt{B}$进行强度标度.另一方面,在$\hbarω\geq17$ meV的IR区域中,观察到的源自较高朗道能级的光学跃迁的$R(ω)$峰与线性$B$成比例,表明抛物线带。不同的能带色散起源于从狄拉克到自由电子带的交叉。

英文摘要:

The magnetic-field dependence of optical reflectivity [$R(ω)$] and optical conductivity [$σ(ω)$] spectra of the ideal type-I Weyl semimetal TaAs has been investigated at the temperature of 10 K in the terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) regions. The obtained $σ(ω)$ spectrum in the THz region of $\hbarω\leq15$ meV is strongly affected by the applied magnetic field ($B$): The Drude spectral weight is rapidly suppressed and an energy gap originating from the optical transition in the lowest Landau levels appears with a gap size that increases in proportion to $\sqrt{B}$, which suggests linear band dispersions. The obtained THz $σ(ω)$ spectra could be scaled not only in the energy scale by $\sqrt{B}$ but also in the intensity by $1/\sqrt{B}$ as predicted theoretically. In the IR region for $\hbarω\geq17$ meV, on the other hand, the observed $R(ω)$ peaks originating from the optical transitions in higher Landau levels are proportional to linear-$B$ suggesting parabolic bands. The different band dispersions originate from the crossover from the Dirac to the free-electron bands.
