论文摘要
当表面状态(SSS)在拓扑绝缘子(TIS)中形成时,它们继承了散装带的特性,包括电子孔(E-H)不对称性,但影响更大。在这里,通过将磁含量光谱与理论分析相结合,我们表明,与量子限制效应相互作用时,E-H不对称会显着修饰SS电子结构。与没有E-H不对称性的情况相比,SSS现在不仅具有不对称性,而且还具有相对于散装带的散装点,而且还具有相对于散装带的偏移和杂交缝隙的降低高达70%。我们的结果表明,E-H不对称性在薄膜限制中TIS的带工程中的重要性。
When surface states (SSs) form in topological insulators (TIs), they inherit the properties of bulk bands, including the electron-hole (e-h) asymmetry but with much more profound impacts. Here, via combining magneto-infrared spectroscopy with theoretical analysis, we show that e-h asymmetry significantly modifies the SS electronic structures when interplaying with the quantum confinement effect. Compared to the case without e-h asymmetry, the SSs now bear not only a band asymmetry as that in the bulk but also a shift of the Dirac point relative to the bulk bands and a reduction of the hybridization gap up to 70%. Our results signify the importance of e-h asymmetry in band engineering of TIs in the thin film limit.
