摘要:

用第一性原理方法计算了拓扑晶体绝缘体SnTe的体能带结构的温度重整化。我们明确地包括热膨胀引起的电子态的修改和电子-声子相互作用的带反转的效果。我们发现,直接间隙随温度的降低,热膨胀和电子-声子相互作用驱动SnTe的相变到一个拓扑平凡的阶段,随着温度的升高。当材料接近相变时,由于电子-声子相互作用引起的带隙重正化与温度呈非线性关系,而带边附近导带态的寿命与温度呈非单调关系.这些效应对SnTe和其他拓扑绝缘体中的体电子和热电输运具有重要意义。

英文摘要:

The temperature renormalization of the bulk band structure of a topological crystalline insulator, SnTe, is calculated using first principles methods. We explicitly include the effect of thermal-expansion-induced modification of electronic states and their band inversion on electron-phonon interaction. We show that the direct gap decreases with temperature, as both thermal expansion and electron-phonon interaction drive SnTe towards the phase transition to a topologically trivial phase as temperature increases. The band gap renormalization due to electron-phonon interaction exhibits a non-linear dependence on temperature as the material approaches the phase transition, while the lifetimes of the conduction band states near the band edge show a non-monotonic behavior with temperature. These effects should have important implications on bulk electronic and thermoelectric transport in SnTe and other topological insulators.
