缺陷Bi $_2$ Se $_3$中的非线性杂化表面缺陷态

Non-linear hybrid surface-defect states in defective Bi$_2$Se$_3$

摘要:

假设拓扑绝缘体的表面态对晶体中的非磁性缺陷具有鲁棒性。然而,最近的理论模型和实验表明,即使是非磁性的缺陷也可以扰动这些状态。我们的第一性原理计算表明,在Bi $_2$ Se $_3$中存在Se空位比仅仅n掺杂的结构具有更大的影响,这将使费米能级相对于狄拉克点移动。我们观察到一个非线性带钉扎附近的费米能级的出现,而狄拉克锥移动到更深的价带。我们属性这些功能在能带结构的表面和缺陷状态之间的相互作用,与这些状态之间的杂交本身取决于相对于表面的Se空位的位置和对称性。我们的研究结果使我们更接近于理解出现在Bi $_2$ Se $_3$中的缺陷的奇异物理,这些缺陷在先前的研究中仍然未被探索。

英文摘要:

Surface-states of topological insulators are assumed to be robust against non-magnetic defects in the crystal. However, recent theoretical models and experiments indicate that even non-magnetic defects can perturb these states. Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that the presence of Se vacancies in Bi$_2$Se$_3$, has a greater impact than a mere n-doping of the structure, which would just shift the Fermi level relative to the Dirac point. We observe the emergence of a non-linear band pinned near the Fermi level, while the Dirac cone shifts deeper into the valence band. We attribute these features in the bandstructure to the interaction between the surface and defect states, with the resulting hybridization between these states itself depending on the position and symmetry of the Se vacancy relative to the surfaces. Our results bring us a step closer to understanding the exotic physics emerging from defects in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ that remained unexplored in prior studies.
