Massive Dirac fermions and spin physics in an ultrathin film of topological insulator
Open accessAbstract
We study transport and optical properties of the surface states, which lie in the bulk energy gap of a thin-film topological insulator. When the film thickness is comparable with the surface-state decay length into the bulk, the tunneling between the top and bottom surfaces opens an energy gap and form two degenerate massive Dirac hyperbolas. Spin-dependent physics emerges in the surface bands, which are vastly different from the bulk behavior. These include the surface spin Hall effects, spin-dependent orbital magnetic moment, and spin-dependent optical transition selection rule, which allows optical spin injection. We show a topological quantum phase transition where the Chern number of the surface bands changes when varying the thickness of the thin film.

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.
