摘要:

二维拓扑狄拉克态与s波超导体之间的界面被认为能够支持可用于量子计算应用的马约拉纳束缚态。实现这些新颖物态及其应用需要对超导电性和自旋轨道耦合进行调控,以获得同时具备超导电性的自旋-动量锁定拓扑表面态。尽管在块体FeTe0.55Se0.45的磁通涡旋核心中已经观测到马约拉纳束缚态的特征,但掺杂引起的不均匀性和无序使这些特征不清晰且在不同涡旋之间不一致。在此,我们报道了通过分子束外延在Bi2Te3上生长的单层FeTe1-ySey(Fe(Te,Se))中的超导电性。自旋与角分辨光电子能谱直接解析了Fe(Te,Se)/Bi2Te3异质结构的界面自旋和电子结构。我们发现,当y = 0.25时,Fe(Te,Se)的电子结构与拓扑Bi2Te3界面态重叠,破坏了所期望的自旋-动量锁定。相比之下,当y = 0.1时,较小的Fe(Te,Se)费米面使得拓扑态中能够观测到清晰的自旋-动量锁定。因此,我们证明了Fe(Te,Se)/Bi2Te3体系是一个高度可调的平台,可用于实现马约拉纳束缚态,其中降低掺杂可以改善对马约拉纳探测和潜在应用至关重要的特性。

英文摘要:

The interface between two-dimensional topological Dirac states and an s-wave superconductor is expected to support Majorana bound states that can be used for quantum computing applications. Realizing these novel states of matter and their applications requires control over superconductivity and spin-orbit coupling to achieve spin-momentum locked topological surface states which are simultaneously superconducting. While signatures of Majorana bound states have been observed in the magnetic vortex cores of bulk FeTe0.55Se0.45, inhomogeneity and disorder from doping makes these signatures unclear and inconsistent between vortices. Here we report superconductivity in monolayer FeTe1-ySey (Fe(Te,Se)) grown on Bi2Te3 by molecular beam epitaxy. Spin and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy directly resolve the interfacial spin and electronic structure of Fe(Te,Se)/Bi2Te3 heterostructures. We find that for y = 0.25 the Fe(Te,Se) electronic structure overlaps with the topological Bi2Te3 interfacial states which disrupts the desired spin-momentum locking. In contrast, for y = 0.1 a smaller Fe(Te,Se) Fermi surface allows for clear spin-momentum locking observed in the topological states. Hence, we demonstrate the Fe(Te,Se)/Bi2Te3 system is a highly tunable platform for realizing Majorana bound states where reduced doping can improve characteristics important for Majorana interrogation and potential applications.
