摘要:

拓扑物质领域的新发展往往是由材料的发现推动的,包括新型拓扑绝缘体、狄拉克半金属和外尔半金属。在过去的几年中,已经进行了大量的努力来分类所有已知的无机材料相对于它们的拓扑结构。不幸的是,大量拓扑材料具有非理想的能带结构。例如,拓扑能带经常与平凡能带纠缠在一起,感兴趣的能带结构特征可能出现在远低于费米能级的地方。这只留下了少数被深入研究的材料。寻找设计新的拓扑材料的策略是一个解决方案。在这里,我们介绍了一种新的机制,是基于电荷密度波和非对称对称性来设计一个理想化的狄拉克半金属。然后,我们实验表明,反铁磁化合物GdSb $_{0.46}$ Te $_{1.48}$是一个近乎理想的狄拉克半金属的基础上提出的机制,这意味着在费米能级的干扰带被抑制。它极不寻常的输运行为指向了一个迄今为止未知的区域,其中费米能量非常接近节点的狄拉克载流子似乎在存在晶格和磁无序的情况下逐渐局部化。

英文摘要:

New developments in the field of topological matter are often driven by materials discovery, including novel topological insulators, Dirac semimetals and Weyl semimetals. In the last few years, large efforts have been performed to classify all known inorganic materials with respect to their topology. Unfortunately, a large number of topological materials suffer from non-ideal band structures. For example, topological bands are frequently convoluted with trivial ones, and band structure features of interest can appear far below the Fermi level. This leaves just a handful of materials that are intensively studied. Finding strategies to design new topological materials is a solution. Here we introduce a new mechanism that is based on charge density waves and non-symmorphic symmetry to design an idealized Dirac semimetal. We then show experimentally that the antiferromagnetic compound GdSb$_{0.46}$Te$_{1.48}$ is a nearly ideal Dirac semimetal based on the proposed mechanism, meaning that most interfering bands at the Fermi level are suppressed. Its highly unusual transport behavior points to a thus far unknown regime, in which Dirac carriers with Fermi energy very close to the node seem to gradually localize in the presence of lattice and magnetic disorder.
