Warping the cone on a Topological Insulator

Open access
Hasan, M., Lin, Hsin, Bansil, Arun·2009·Physics

Abstract

The energy-momentum relationship of electrons on the surface of an ideal topological insulator forms a cone, which, when warped, can lead to unusual phenomena such as enhanced interference around defects and a magnetically ordered exotic surface.

  • Three-dimensional topological insulators are nonmagnetic insulators with novel surface states that are a consequence of the nontrivial topology of electronic wavefunctions in the bulk.

    “Topological insulators (TIs) in three dimensions are nonmagnetic insulators with novel surface states (SSs) that are a consequence of the nontrivial topology of electronic wavefunctions in the bulk of the materials ( 1-5 ).”
  • This hexagonal anisotropy makes the surface susceptible to spin-fluctuation or magnetic instabilities.

    “a deformation that makes the surface susceptible to spin-fluctuation or magnetic instabilities 21 .”
  • Recent observations of superconductivity in Cu_xBi2Se3 (Tc=3.8K) by Hor et al. have raised interest in understanding the role of spontaneously broken symmetry within a topological band-structure.

    “Recent observations of superconductivity in Cu x Bi 2 Se 3 (T c = 3.8K) by Hor et.al., (39) have raised interest in understanding the role of spontaneously broken symmetry within a topological band-structure.”

    From Three-Dimensional Topological Insulators (2011) · cites this paper as [39]

  • The spin-splitting of topological surface bands is often described as a special case of the Rashba effect, where surface states become spin-split by an energy proportional to momentum k.

    “The spin-splitting of topological surface bands is often discussed as a special case of the Rashba effect (see, for example, refs 3,20), in which surface electronic states become spin-split by an energy proportional to their momentum k.”

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.
