摘要:

用密度泛函理论研究了准一维(TaSe \it)$_2$ I的晶格相变.在未畸变状态下,强各向异性半金属带结构呈现两个不等价的Weyl点。在以前的努力中,提出了两种可能的Ta-四聚模式与低温结构相关。我们的声子计算表明,正交$F222$ CDW-Ⅰ相是最有可能的基态这个准一维系统。此外,根据声子色散谱,单斜$C2$ CDW-II相也可能是稳定的。由于这两个阶段在我们的DFT计算中具有非常相似的能量,这两个Ta-四聚变形可能在低温下竞争或共存。半金属到绝缘体的转变是由费米面驱动的不稳定性引起的,这种不稳定性支持Peierls方案,它影响了$T_{\rm CDW}$上面发展的Weyl物理。此外,自旋-轨道耦合在绝缘CDW相中产生Rashba样的带分裂。

英文摘要:

Using {\it ab initio} density functional theory, we study the lattice phase transition of quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe$_4$)$_2$I. In the undistorted state, the strongly anisotropic semimetal band structure presents two non-equivalent Weyl points. In previous efforts, two possible Ta-tetramerization patterns were proposed to be associated with the low-temperature structure. Our phonon calculations indicate that the orthorhombic $F222$ CDW-I phase is the most likely ground state for this quasi-one-dimensional system. In addition, the monoclinic $C2$ CDW-II phase may also be stable according to the phonon dispersion spectrum. Since these two phases have very similar energies in our DFT calculations, both these Ta-tetramerization distortions likely compete or coexist at low temperatures. The semimetal to insulator transition is induced by a Fermi-surface-driven instability that supports the Peierls scenario, which affects the Weyl physics developed above $T_{\rm CDW}$. Furthermore, the spin-orbit coupling generates Rashba-like band splittings in the insulating CDW phases.
