论文摘要

基于从头算相对论$ {\ Mathbf K} \ CDOT {\ Mathbf P} $理论,我们为三维拓扑绝缘子的表面状态提供了有效的两波段模型,直至第七阶,直至$ \ Mathbf {k} $。它提供了表面旋转结构的全面描述,其特征是动量和自旋之间的非正交性。我们表明,非正交性的振荡具有$ \ mathbf {k} $,$π/3 $周期性可以看作是由于有效的六倍对称的自旋磁场,并带有单次旋转和$ \ mathbf {k k k的五重和隔载量。由于经典的Rashba场的主要作用,仍然存在单一的螺旋自旋结构,但与动量和旋转之间的正交锁定相距不合时间。

Based on ab initio relativistic ${\mathbf k}\cdot{\mathbf p}$ theory, we derive an effective two-band model for surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators up to seventh order in $\mathbf{k}$. It provides a comprehensive description of the surface spin structure characterized by a non-orthogonality between momentum and spin. We show that the oscillation of the non-orthogonality with the polar angle of $\mathbf{k}$ with a $π/3$ periodicity can be seen as due to effective six-fold symmetric spin-orbit magnetic fields with a quintuple and septuple winding of the field vectors per single rotation of $\mathbf{k}$. Owing to the dominant effect of the classical Rashba field, there remains a single-winding helical spin structure but with a periodic few-degree deviation from the orthogonal locking between momentum and spin.
