摘要:

我们已经进行了角分辨光电子能谱EuIn2As2,这是预测在反铁磁状态下的轴子绝缘体。通过利用软X射线和真空紫外光子,我们揭示了一个三维空穴袋为中心的体布里渊区的伽马点连同一个重空穴掺杂的表面态的顺磁相。当进入反铁磁相时,能带结构表现出明显的重构,其特征在于在费米能级附近出现“M”形体带。与第一性原理能带结构计算的定性协议表明,在反铁磁相的伽马点的批量带反转的发生。我们认为,EuIn2As2提供了一个很好的机会,研究与可能的轴子绝缘体相的奇异量子相位。

英文摘要:

We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on EuIn2As2 which is predicted to be an axion insulator in the antiferromagnetic state. By utilizing soft-x-ray and vacuum-ultraviolet photons, we revealed a three-dimensional hole pocket centered at the Gamma point of bulk Brillouin zone together with a heavily hole-doped surface state in the paramagnetic phase. Upon entering the antiferromagnetic phase, the band structure exhibits a marked reconstruction characterized by the emergence of a "M"-shaped bulk band near the Fermi level. The qualitative agreement with first-principles band-structure calculations suggests the occurrence of bulk-band inversion at the Gamma point in the antiferromagnetic phase. We suggest that EuIn2As2 provides a good opportunity to study the exotic quantum phases associated with possible axion-insulator phase.
