摘要:

强无序通过增强局域化、相互作用并改变态密度,对量子材料的电子结构具有关键影响。在室温和\SI{230}{K}下生长的Bi$_x$TeI薄膜因无序、局域化和电子关联效应而表现出显著的磁输运效应,包括在取决于生长温度的组分处发生金属–绝缘体转变(MIT)。对于Bi$_x$TeI的若干组分,在230 K下生长所导致的无序增强使电导率降低了数个数量级。随着组分$x$减小而发生的从金属到绝缘体的转变伴随着退相干长度的减小,这导致弱反局域化效应消失。电子–电子相互作用在金属侧引起低温电导率修正,并在绝缘体侧引起Efros-Shklovskii(ES)变程跳跃,这些效应在单晶Bi$_x$TeI中并不存在。在Bi$_x$TeI中观测到可调的金属–绝缘体转变以及相关的强局域化和量子效应,表明有可能通过无序来调控量子材料中的自旋输运。

英文摘要:

Strong disorder has a crucial effect on the electronic structure in quantum materials by increasing localization, interactions, and modifying the density of states. Bi$_x$TeI films grown at room temperature and \SI{230}{K} exhibit dramatic magnetotransport effects due to disorder, localization and electron correlation effects, including a MIT at a composition that depends on growth temperature. The increased disorder caused by growth at 230K causes the conductivity to decrease by several orders of magnitude, for several compositions of Bi$_x$TeI. The transition from metal to insulator with decreasing composition $x$ is accompanied by a decrease in the dephasing length which leads to the disappearance of the weak-antilocalization effect. Electron-electron interactions cause low temperature conductivity corrections on the metallic side and Efros-Shklovskii (ES) variable range hopping on the insulating side, effects which are absent in single crystalline Bi$_x$TeI. The observation of a tunable metal-insulator transition and the associated strong localization and quantum effects in Bi$_x$TeI shows the possibility of tuning spin transport in quantum materials via disorder.
