摘要:

拓扑绝缘体具有体能隙,其将最低空带与最高占据电子带分开。另一方面,拓扑绝缘体表面(或二维边缘)的电子态是无隙的,并受到时间反演对称性的保护。这样的系统是有前途的各种光电,超导,热电和量子计算相关的应用。研究了三元Bi_2Te_2Se拓扑绝缘体的弹性、力学、电学、光学性质、成键特性和电荷密度分布。所研究的化合物是机械稳定和弹性各向异性。电子能带结构计算揭示了能量色散的高度各向异性。电子有效质量在c方向上比在ab平面上高。光学常数显示出相对于入射辐射的电场的偏振的中等水平的变化。光谱与电子能带结构和电子态密度特征一致。电子能带结构和光学常数都清楚地表明了Bi2Te2Se的直接带隙为0.610 eV。研究还发现,Bi_2Te_2Se在红外和可见光区具有高的折射率和低的光子能量。它在紫外线区域具有低反射率。Bi_2Te_2Se在紫外线能量中强烈吸收光子。所有这些特性使得Bi2Te2Se适合于各种类型的光电子器件应用。

英文摘要:

A topological insulator possesses a bulk energy gap splitting the lowest empty band from the highest occupied electronic band. The electronic states at the surface (or edge in two dimensions), on the other hand, of a topological insulator are gapless and are protected by the time reversal symmetry. Such systems are promising for variety of optoelectronic, superconducting, thermoelectric and quantum computation related applications. We have studied elastic, mechanical, electronic, optical properties, bonding character and the electronic charge density distribution of ternary Bi2Te2Se topological insulator. The compound under study is mechanically stable and elastically anisotropic. The electronic band structure calculations reveal high degree of anisotropy in the energy dispersion. Electronic effective mass is high in the c-direction compared to that in the ab-plane. The optical constants show moderate level of variation with respect to the polarization of the electric field of the incident radiation. The optical spectra are consistent with the electronic band structure and electronic density of states features. Both electronic band structure and optical constants show clear indications of a direct band gap of 0.610 eV for Bi2Te2Se. It is also found that Bi2Te2Se possesses high refractive index at low photon energies in the infrared and visible region. It has low reflectivity in the ultraviolet region. Bi2Te2Se absorbs photons strongly in the ultraviolet energies. All these features make Bi2Te2Se suitable for diverse class of optoelectronic device applications.
