本文将量子电导修正理论推广到辛对称类二维电子系统,并通过双栅控拓扑绝缘体实验发现二阶干涉和电子-电子相互作用可显著增强磁电导,揭示了拓扑表面态中的屏蔽、退相干及粒子-空穴不对称等复杂电子过程。

摘要:

量子干涉、电子-电子相互作用(EEI)与无序之间的相互作用是凝聚态物理的核心主题之一。在具有弱自旋轨道耦合(SOC)的半导体中,这种相互作用可引起高阶磁电导(MC)修正。然而,在辛对称类电子系统中,包括拓扑绝缘体(TIs)、外尔半金属、谷间散射可忽略的石墨烯以及具有强SOC的半导体,这种高阶量子修正如何改变磁输运性质仍未得到探索。在此,我们将量子电导修正理论推广到具有辛对称性的二维电子系统,并利用双栅控TI器件实验研究了这种物理,其中输运由高度可调的拓扑表面态主导。我们发现,与正交对称系统中MC受到抑制相反,二阶干涉和EEI效应可以显著增强MC。我们的工作表明,详细的MC分析可以为TIs中复杂的电子过程提供深刻见解,例如局域电荷puddle的屏蔽和退相干效应,以及相关的粒子-空穴不对称性。

英文摘要:

The interplay between quantum interference, electron-electron interaction (EEI), and disorder is one of the central themes of condensed matter physics. Such interplay can cause high-order magnetoconductance (MC) corrections in semiconductors with weak spin-orbit coupling (SOC). However, it remains unexplored how the magnetotransport properties are modified by the high-order quantum corrections in the electron systems of symplectic symmetry class, which include topological insulators (TIs), Weyl semimetals, graphene with negligible intervalley scattering, and semiconductors with strong SOC. Here, we extend the theory of quantum conductance corrections to two-dimensional electron systems with the symplectic symmetry, and study experimentally such physics with dual-gated TI devices in which the transport is dominated by highly tunable surface states. We find that the MC can be enhanced significantly by the second-order interference and the EEI effects, in contrast to suppression of MC for the systems with orthogonal symmetry. Our work reveals that detailed MC analysis can provide deep insights into the complex electronic processes in TIs, such as the screening and dephasing effects of localized charge puddles, as well as the related particle-hole asymmetry.
