Topological crystalline insulator states in Pb1−xSnxSe
Open accessAbstract
Topological insulators are a class of quantum materials in which time-reversal symmetry, relativistic effects and an inverted band structure result in the occurrence of electronic metallic states on the surfaces of insulating bulk crystals. These helical states exhibit a Dirac-like energy dispersion across the bulk bandgap, and they are topologically protected. Recent theoretical results have suggested the existence of topological crystalline insulators (TCIs), a class of topological insulators in which crystalline symmetry replaces the role of time-reversal symmetry in ensuring topological protection. In this study we show that the narrow-gap semiconductor Pb(1-x)Sn(x)Se is a TCI for x = 0.23. Temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates that the material undergoes a temperature-driven topological phase transition from a trivial insulator to a TCI. These experimental findings add a new class to the family of topological insulators, and we anticipate that they will lead to a considerable body of further research as well as detailed studies of topological phase transitions.

Current ARPES works have not demonstrated resolution better than 5 meV, so fitting cannot exclude gap values below 5 meV.
“The current ARPES works 29,30 have not demonstrated resolution better than 5 meV, and thus fitting of the energy-momentum distribution curves lacks the resolving power to exclude gap values o5 meV (see Supplementary Fig. S10 and Supplementary Discussion).”

Although the existence of surface states correlated with the band inversion transition is established, whether they are gapped or gapless requires surface transport experiments on improved-quality samples, which is currently not possible.
“Therefore, although the existence of surface states correlated with band inversion transition is established here in our work, their gapped or gaplessness nature requires surface transport experiments on samples with improved quality, which is currently not possible 29 .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
