摘要:

基于第一性原理计算,预测了过渡金属二硫属化合物$MX_2$($M$ = Mo,W,$X$ = Te,Se,S)在1 T '结构中的单层结构是量子自旋霍尔绝缘体,并很快得到多个实验组的证实.为了更好地理解它们的性质,特别是它们对外场的响应,我们结合对称性分析和第一性原理计算构建了一个现实的四带紧束缚(TB)模型.我们的TB模型尊重所有的对称性,可以准确地再现能带结构在一个大的能量窗口从-0.3 eV到0.8 eV。通过引入自旋-轨道耦合(SOC),我们的TB模型可以描述非平凡拓扑和相应的边缘态。我们的TB模型也可以捕捉到各向异性应变对能带结构和应变诱导金属-绝缘体转变的影响。此外,我们还发现,虽然$MX_2$具有相同的晶体结构和晶体对称性,但它们在费米能级附近的轨道组成是不同的,它们的低能性质不能用单一的k $\cdot$ p模型完全描述.因此,我们分别为$M$ S $_2$、$M$ Se $_2$和$M$ Te $_2$构造了两种不同类型的k $\cdot$ p模型.由于TB和k $\cdot$ p模型具有较高的精确度和简单性,可以作为今后研究1 T '-过渡金属二硫属化物输运、超导、强关联效应和双电子学的坚实起点。

英文摘要:

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides $MX_2$ ($M$ = Mo,W and $X$ = Te, Se, S) in 1T' structure were predicted to be quantum spin Hall insulators based on first-principles calculations, which were quickly confirmed by multiple experimental groups. For a better understanding of their properties, in particular their responses to external fields, we construct a realistic four-band tight-binding (TB) model by combining the symmetry analysis and first-principles calculations. Our TB model respects all the symmetries and can accurately reproduce the band structure in a large energy window from -0.3 eV to 0.8 eV. With the inclusion of spin-orbital coupling (SOC), our TB model can characterize the nontrivial topology and the corresponding edge states. Our TB model can also capture the anisotropic strain effects on the band structure and the strain-induced metal-insulator transition. Moreover, we found that although $MX_2$ share the same crystal structures and have the same crystal symmetries, while the orbital composition of states around the Fermi level are qualitatively different and their lower-energy properties cannot fully described by a single k $\cdot$ p model. Thus, we construct two different types of k $\cdot$ p model for $M$S$_2$,$M$Se$_2$ and $M$Te$_2$, respectively. Benefiting from the high accuracy and simplicity, our TB and k $\cdot$ p models can serve as a solid and concrete starting point for future studies of transport, superconductivity, strong correlation effects and twistronics in 1T'-transition metal dichalcogenides.
