多层拓扑绝缘体中无序诱导的拓扑转变

Disorder-Induced Topological Transitions in a Multilayer Topological Insulator

Z. Z. Alisultanov, A. Kudlis

AI总结:

本研究基于Burkov-Balents模型探讨了非磁性无序对多层拓扑绝缘体电子态的影响,发现非对角无序会在能隙中诱导离域体态并可能破坏反常量子霍尔效应相,但Weyl半金属相在显著无序下保持稳定。

摘要:

我们研究了非磁性无序对包含拓扑和常规能带绝缘体层的多层结构电子态的影响。采用重整化隧穿参数的Burkov-Balents模型,我们生成了与无序相关的相图,证明非磁性无序能诱导不同拓扑相之间的转变。研究的后续部分关注无序在层间不均匀分布的情形,导致层间隧穿参数的涨落——称为非对角无序。我们使用自洽单格点图技术确定态密度,将格林函数按层间隧穿参数展开(定位子方法)。结果显示,非对角无序使能隙中出现离域体态。这些态的出现可能导致反常量子霍尔效应(AQHE)相的破缺,该现象已引起拓扑异质结构领域研究者的极大关注。尽管如此,我们的结果证实了Weyl半金属相在显著的非对角无序下依然保持稳定。

英文摘要:

We examine the impact of non-magnetic disorder on the electronic states of a multilayer structure comprising layers of both topological and conventional band insulators. Employing the Burkov-Balents model with renormalized tunneling parameters, we generate phase diagrams correlating with disorder, demonstrating that non-magnetic disorder can induce transitions between distinct topological phases. The subsequent section of our investigation focuses on the scenario where disorder is unevenly distributed across layers, resulting in fluctuations of the interlayer tunneling parameter - termed off-diagonal disorder. Furthermore, we determine the density of states employing the self-consistent single-site diagram technique, expanding the Green function in relation to the interlayer tunneling parameter (locator method). Our findings reveal that off-diagonal disorder engenders delocalized bulk states within the band gap. The emergence of these states may lead to the breakdown of the anomalous quantum Hall effect (AQHE) phase, a phenomenon that has garnered significant attention from researchers in the realm of topological heterostructures. Nonetheless, our results affirm the stability of the Weyl semimetal phase even under substantial off-diagonal disorder.
