摘要:

拓扑绝缘体的狄拉克表面态的磁振荡可能与朗道能级的形成或Aharonov-Bohm效应有关。相反,我们研究的狄拉克表面态的电导受到面内磁场中存在的势垒。引人注目的是,我们发现,在大的势垒的情况下,表面状态表现出显着的振荡的电导时,变化的磁场,在\textit{absence}的朗道能级或Aharonov-Bohm效应。这些新颖的磁振荡归因于通过调谐磁场而出现的\textit{super-resonant regimes},其中几乎所有的传播电子都以完美的传输穿过势垒。在小的和中等的势垒势的情况下,我们还确定了一个积极的磁导,这是由于费米面的倾斜表面狄拉克锥的增加。此外,我们表明,对于弱磁场,电导显示出一个偏移的正弦依赖于磁场方向与周期$π$和相移确定的倾斜方向相对于磁场方向。我们的预测可以应用到许多拓扑绝缘体,如碲化汞和铋$_{2}$硒$_{3}$,并提供了重要的见解探索和理解奇异的磁输运性质的拓扑表面状态。

英文摘要:

Magnetic oscillations of Dirac surface states of topological insulators are expected to be associated with the formation of Landau levels or the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We instead study the conductance of Dirac surface states subjected to an in-plane magnetic field in presence of a barrier potential. Strikingly, we find that, in the case of large barrier potentials, the surface states exhibit pronounced oscillations in the conductance when varying the magnetic field, in the \textit{absence} of Landau levels or the Aharonov-Bohm effect. These novel magnetic oscillations are attributed to the emergence of \textit{super-resonant regimes} by tuning the magnetic field, in which almost all propagating electrons cross the barrier with perfect transmission. In the case of small and moderate barrier potentials, we also identify a positive magnetoconductance which is due to the increase of the Fermi surface by tilting the surface Dirac cone. Moreover, we show that for weak magnetic fields, the conductance displays a shifted sinusoidal dependence on the field direction with period $π$ and phase shift determined by the tilting direction with respect to the field direction. Our predictions can be applied to many topological insulators, such as HgTe and Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$, and provide important insights into exploring and understanding exotic magnetotransport properties of topological surface states.
