摘要:

近年来,人们在层状各向异性半导体材料中发现了一些有趣的物理性质,其中面内电子能带结构各向异性通常源于低的晶体对称性,因此呈现出厚度无关的特征。在这里,我们应用高分辨率角分辨光电子能谱直接成像的单斜碲化镓(GaTe)的面内各向异性能带。我们的第一性原理计算揭示了实验测量的GaTe的面内各向异性能量能带结构是由强的体-表面相互作用决定的,而不是几何因素、表面效应和量子限制效应。此外,随着GaTe厚度从单层到多层的增加,GaTe层间强耦合引起直接-间接-直接带隙跃迁,空穴有效质量的面内各向异性发生逆转。我们的研究结果揭示了GaTe电子结构面内各向异性的物理根源,为基于各向异性层状半导体的纳米电子学和光电子学的设计和器件应用铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

Recently, intriguing physical properties have been unraveled in anisotropic layered semiconductors, in which the in-plane electronic band structure anisotropy often originates from the low crystallographic symmetry and thus a thickness-independent character emerges. Here, we apply high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to directly image the in-plane anisotropic energy bands in monoclinic gallium telluride (GaTe). Our first-principles calculations reveal the in-plane anisotropic energy band structure of GaTe measured experimentally is dominated by a strong bulk-surface interaction rather than geometric factors, surface effect and quantum confinement effect. Furthermore, accompanied by the thickness of GaTe increasing from mono- to few-layers, the strong interlayer coupling of GaTe induces direct-indirect-direct band gap transitions and the in-plane anisotropy of hole effective mass is reversed. Our results shed light on the physical origins of in-plane anisotropy of electronic structure in GaTe, paving the way for the design and device applications of nanoelectronics and optoelectronics based on anisotropic layered semiconductors.
