Outline of Research at the Start

電子状態の対称性の「ねじれ」と電子・電子間の相互作用の協奏関係により非自明な電子状態が実現しているトポロジカル近藤絶縁体表面に三角格子構造を作製し、二次元トポロジカル電子状態にバレー偏極構造を導入する。これにより現れると期待される多様かつ非自明な電子構造について、角度分解光電子分光法を中心とする実験手法により明らかにすることを目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Topological insulators hosting low-dimensional electronic states at the edge of the crystals are gathering broad attention in this decade. Among them, topological Kondo insulators derived from strong electron correlation are expected to exhibit various unconventional electronic phenomena, such as complex energy eigenvalues in a triangular lattice.
In this study, some new clean surfaces of samarium hexaboride (SmB6), one of a known topological Kondo insulator, are obtained by a new cleaning technique developed by us. On the surface triangular lattice of SmB6, temperature-driven evolution of the topological electronic states at the triple degenerate points in the surface Brillouin zone is traced. Moreover, we also discovered a new topological surface states exhibiting different symmetry from the 3D states in the crystal on the vicinal surface of SmB6.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、これまで作製が困難であったトポロジカル近藤絶縁体単結晶の清浄表面試料を得る方法がサマリウム六硼化物については確立できた。これまで理論的な予測が先行して十分に実験的面からの調査が行えていなかったトポロジカル電子状態と電子相関の協奏効果について、試料準備という実験研究の最初のハードルを大きく引き下げた意義は大きい。
得られた複数の清浄表面試料において観測したトポロジカル表面電子状態においては、三角格子系の温度変化や微傾斜表面の異方的トポロジカル電子状態など、これまでは試料の制限により得られなかった興味深い電子状態の存在が明らかになった。
