摘要:

材料的电子和拓扑性质是由晶体对称性和维度之间的相互作用而得。同时通过低维准周期有序引入“禁戒”对称性到物质系统中,有望出现新的物理现象。在这里,我们分离出一个二维的硫属化物准晶和近似,并研究相关的电子和拓扑性质。超薄的二维层的材料与组成接近Ta1.6Te,来自层状过渡金属dichalcogenide,分离与标准的剥离技术和研究与电子衍射和原子分辨率扫描透射电子显微镜。密度泛函理论计算和对称性分析的大的单位晶胞晶体近似的准晶Ta 21 Te 13揭示了对称性保护的节点交叉的准晶和近似相的存在是可调的层数。我们的研究为探索准晶低维材料的物理学以及电子系统中拓扑、维数和对称性的相互关联性质提供了一个平台。

英文摘要:

Electronic and topological properties of materials are derived from the interplay between crystalline symmetry and dimensionality. Simultaneously introducing 'forbidden' symmetries via quasiperiodic ordering with low-dimensionality into a material system promises the emergence of new physical phenomena. Here, we isolate a two-dimensional chalcogenide quasicrystal and approximant, and investigate associated electronic and topological properties. Ultra-thin two-dimensional layers of the materials with a composition close to Ta1.6Te, derived from a layered transition metal dichalcogenide, are isolated with standard exfoliation techniques and investigated with electron diffraction and atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. Density functional theory calculations and symmetry analysis of the large unit-cell crystalline approximant of the quasicrystal Ta21Te13 reveal the presence of symmetry protected nodal crossings in the quasicrystalline and approximate phases whose presence is tunable by layer number. Our study provides a platform for the exploration of physics in quasicrystalline low-dimensional materials and the interconnected nature of topology, dimensionality and symmetry in electronic systems.
