三的符号:过渡金属二硫族化合物界面上的自旋/电荷密度波

The Sign of Three: Spin/Charge Density Waves at the Boundaries of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Sridevi Krishnamurthi, Geert Brocks

摘要:

二维半导体{ \MX }(M= Mo,W; X=S,Se)过渡金属二硫属化物的一维晶界在室温下通常是金属性的。金属性起源于晶格极化,对于具有$D_{3h}$对称性的晶格,这是拓扑不变量,并导致带隙内的一维边界态。对于垂直于极化方向的边界,这些状态必须被电子或空穴占据1/3,使它们容易受到金属-绝缘体转变的影响,使平移周期增加三倍。使用密度泛函理论计算,我们证明了出现的组合一维自旋密度/电荷密度波的周期在边界处,打开了一个小的带隙$\sim 0.1$ eV。这种独特的电子结构允许在边界处的孤子激发,其携带分数电荷$\pm 1/3\ e$。

英文摘要:

One-dimensional grain boundaries of two-dimensional semiconducting {\MX} (M= Mo,W; X=S,Se) transition metal di-chalcogenides are typically metallic at room temperature. The metallicity has its origin in the lattice polarization, which for these lattices with $D_{3h}$ symmetry is a topological invariant, and leads to one-dimenional boundary states inside the band gap. For boundaries perpendicular to the polarization direction, these states are necessarily 1/3 occupied by electrons or holes, making them susceptible to a metal-insulator transition that triples the translation period. Using density-functional-theory calculations we demonstrate the emergence of combined one-dimensional spin density/charge density waves of that period at the boundary, opening up a small band gap of $\sim 0.1$ eV. This unique electronic structure allows for soliton excitations at the boundary that carry a fractional charge of $\pm 1/3\ e$.
