摘要:

LaAgSb $_{2}$是一种罕见的材料,它提供了研究电荷密度波(CDW)有序和拓扑保护电子能带结构之间复杂相互作用的机会。由于这两种现象都是由结构对称性决定的,因此对晶格动力学的全面研究是非常必要的。本文报道了LaAgSb $_{2}$单晶的温度和压力依赖拉曼光谱和X射线衍射的结果。我们的研究结果证实,拉曼光谱是一个高灵敏度的工具来探测CDW有序现象,特别是低温第二CDW转变的LaAgSb $_{2}$,这似乎是一个非常弱的异常,在大多数实验。晶体取向相关的测量提供了拉曼模式的演化与晶体对称性,可以通过群对称性分析进一步研究。的低温X射线衍射数据显示出现的结构调制对应的CDW不稳定性。结合高压拉曼光谱和同步辐射X射线衍射揭示了多个结构相变通过降低晶体对称性,这也有望导致电子拓扑转变。

英文摘要:

LaAgSb$_{2}$ is a rare material, which offers the opportunity to investigate the complex interplay between charge density wave (CDW) ordering and topology protected electronic band structure. As both of these phenomena are governed by the structural symmetries, a comprehensive study of the lattice dynamics is highly desirable. In this report, we present the results of temperature and pressure dependent Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction in single crystalline LaAgSb$_{2}$. Our results confirm that Raman spectroscopy is a highly sensitive tool to probe CDW ordering phenomenon, particularly the low-temperature second CDW transition in LaAgSb$_{2}$, which appears as a very weak anomaly in most experiments. The crystal orientation-dependent measurements provide the evolution of Raman modes with crystallographic symmetries and can be further studied through group symmetry analysis. The low-temperature x-ray diffraction data show the emergence of structural modulations corresponding to the CDW instability. The combined high-pressure Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron x-ray diffraction reveal multiple structural phase transitions through lowering of crystalline symmetries, which are also expected to lead to electronic topological transitions.
