AI总结:

本研究利用共振X射线光发射技术,研究MoTe2不同拓扑相变前后的超快载流子动力学,发现1T'相载流子离域速度比Td相快1.5倍,揭示了拓扑结构对载流子行为的影响机制。

摘要:

外尔半金属的输运性质与其底层能带结构密切相关。外尔半金属的特征是线性色散的能带相互接触,形成外尔点,从而带来高电荷载流子迁移率。层状过渡金属二硫化物MoTe2会发生随温度变化的相变,直接将平庸的1T'相转变为非平庸的Td相,这为理解外尔点的形成如何体现在超快载流子动力学中提供了契机。在本研究中,我们使用共振X射线光发射技术,监测1T'-MoTe2以及Td-MoTe2中外尔点附近的激发载流子的元素特异性演化。我们发现,1T'-MoTe2的离域时间比Td-MoTe2快1.5倍。我们认为,这是由于态密度和屏蔽长度的变化,导致Td-MoTe2中载流子散射速率更高。本研究在亚飞秒时间尺度上并以原子位点特异性追踪了MoTe2中载流子的演化过程。

英文摘要:

Transport properties of Weyl semimetals are intimately connected to the underlying band structure. The signature of Weyl semimetals are linear dispersing bands that touch, forming Weyl points that result in high charge carrier mobilities. The layered transition metal dichalcogenide MoTe2, undergoes a temperature dependent phase transition that directly converts the trivial 1Tprime phase to the nontrivial Td phase, providing an opportunity to understand how the formation of a Weyl point manifests in the ultrafast carrier dynamics. In this study, we use resonant X-ray photoemission to monitor the element specific evolution of excited carriers 1Tprime-MoTe2 and in the vicinity of the Weyl point in Td-MoTe2. We find that the delocalization time of 1Tprime-MoTe2 is a factor 1.5 times faster than in Td-MoTe2. We argue that this is a result of the change in the density of states and screening length, to a higher carrier scattering rate in Td-MoTe2. Our study tracks the fate of carriers in MoTe2 on sub-fs time-scales and with atomic site specificity.
