摘要:

我们报告了对1000纳米HgTe薄膜输运性质的系统研究。与较薄且应变的HgTe薄膜(已知为高质量的三维(3D)拓扑绝缘体)不同,所研究的薄膜比HgTe在CdTe衬底上同晶生长的极限要厚得多。因此,它预计完全弛豫并具有体态HgTe的能带结构,即零带隙半导体。尽管如此,由于能带反转,二维(2D)拓扑表面态预计仍然存在。为了验证这一主张,我们研究了系统的经典和量子输运响应。我们证明,通过调节顶栅电压,可以将电子主导的输运转变为空穴主导的输运。发现最高电子迁移率超过300×10³ cm²/Vs。该系统表现出具有复杂图样的Shubnikov-de Haas(SdH)振荡,并在相应的傅里叶光谱中显示出多达5个独立频率。它们被归因于拓扑表面态、Volkov-Pankratov态以及栅极附近积累层中的自旋简并体态。观察到的量子输运特性包括霍尔电阻的强SdH振荡,以及拓扑表面态受抑制的振荡响应。

英文摘要:

We report on systematic study of transport properties of a 1000-nm HgTe film. Unlike to thinner and strained HgTe films, which are known as high-quality three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators, the film under study is much thicker than the limit of pseudomorphic growth of HgTe on a CdTe substrate. Therefore, it is expected to be fully relaxed and has the band structure of bulk HgTe, i.e., a zero gap semiconductor. Nevertheless, since the bands inversion the two-dimensional (2D) topological surface states are still expected to exist. To check this claim we studied classical and quantum transport response of the system. We demonstrate that by tuning the top-gate voltage one can change the electron-dominating transport to the hole one. The highest electron mobility is found to be more than $300 \times 10^3$ cm$^2$/Vs. The system exhibits Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations with a complicated pattern and shows up to 5 independent frequencies in corresponding Fourier spectra. They are attributed to the topological surface states, Volkov-Pankratov states and spin-degenerate bulk states in the accumulation layer near the gate. The observed peculiarities of the quantum transport are the strong SdH oscillations of the Hall resistance, and the suppressed oscillatory response of the topological surface states.
