本研究利用磁力显微镜揭示二维拓扑绝缘体中拓扑边缘态的磁信号,发现持续电流与法拉第感应共同作用,为低损耗拓扑电路元件提供新思路。

摘要:

二维拓扑绝缘体是理解材料中拓扑对称性与其能带电子学之间联系的核心。在这一类材料中,广泛存在复杂的量子行为,如在时间反演对称性被破坏的情况下持续的自旋极化电流状态,以及温度不依赖的拓扑保护量子态。然而,目前使用光电发射和光谱分析或传输实验的研究未能提供关于物理二维流形与能带拓扑之间相互作用的见解,因为它们无法提供所要理解现象的空间分辨率。在本工作中,我们开发了一种将磁力显微镜应用于此类系统的方 法,以解决这一问题。利用已表征的二维晶体Bi₂Te₃,我们直接成像与拓扑边缘态相关的磁信号。观察到的相位对比在25°C温度下异常稳健,并且在晶体尺寸和形状上均发生。对磁成像的详细分析表明,观测到的电流由两部分组成:第一部分是理论预测的持续电流(I_Persistent),第二部分是法拉第感应(I_Faraday)。成像过程中悬臂的阻尼动力学进一步表明,该法拉第电磁力是由于晶体1D边缘通道中的自旋积累产生的,这在时间反演对称性破坏的情况下会转化为电荷电流,从而在通道中产生一种新的整流形式。这一意外结果可以激发关于基于拓扑的电路元件的新想法,这些元件具有极低的损耗和能耗。

英文摘要:

Magnetic force imaging (MFM) of 2D topological insulators, such as crystalline plates of Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3, reveals anomalously large contrast around the plate edges even under ambient imaging conditions. And while there are several known contrast mechanisms in MFM, these cannot easily explain the magnitude of contrast observe for such systems. In this work we use multi-parameter magnetic force phase imaging together with a simple analytical model to suggest that the observed magnetic edge-features can be associated with two sources: a pseudo-Faraday effect in the conductive edge channels of the topological system and magnetic scattering in those channels caused by the proximal, localized field of the tip. These results suggest novel MFM contrast mechanisms unique to topological systems and point to the utility of multi-parameter MFM techniques in studies of topological-material-based circuit elements.
