摘要:

本文从实验和理论两方面研究了节线半金属ZrSiTe的电子结构。在ZrSiTe中发现了两种不同的表面态-拓扑鼓面态和平凡浮带表面态。利用威尔逊圈的光谱,我们表明,一个非平凡的Berry相位,存在于一个有限的区域内的布里渊区引起的拓扑鼓面型表面态。Berry相的$\mathbb{Z}_2$结构诱导表面态的$\mathbb{Z}_2$“模运算”,允许来自不同节线的表面态杂交和间隙,这可以通过一组威尔逊圈来探测。我们的研究结果证实了\textit{ab-initio}计算和角分辨光电发射实验,这是在良好的协议彼此和拓扑分析。这是第一个完整的表征拓扑表面状态在家庭的方网为基础的节线半金属,从而从根本上增加了理解的拓扑性质,这一类不断增长的拓扑半金属。

英文摘要:

We study the electronic structure of the nodal line semimetal ZrSiTe both experimentally and theoretically. We find two different surface states in ZrSiTe - topological drumhead surface states and trivial floating band surface states. Using the spectra of Wilson loops, we show that a non-trivial Berry phase that exists in a confined region within the Brillouin Zone gives rise to the topological drumhead-type surface states. The $\mathbb{Z}_2$ structure of the Berry phase induces a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ 'modular arithmetic' of the surface states, allowing surface states deriving from different nodal lines to hybridize and gap out, which can be probed by a set of Wilson loops. Our findings are confirmed by \textit{ab-initio} calculations and angle-resolved photoemission experiments, which are in excellent agreement with each other and the topological analysis. This is the first complete characterization of topological surface states in the family of square-net based nodal line semimetals and thus fundamentally increases the understanding of the topological nature of this growing class of topological semimetals.
