  • Electronic structure of Sb ultrathin film on Bi(111) with large lattice mismatch

    Hiroko Abe, Daiki Iwasawa, Masaki Imamura, Kazutoshi Takahashi, Akari Takayama

    AIP Advances   13 ( 5 )  2023.05

     View Summary

    Topological phase transitions have been actively investigated to understand the fundamental properties and to develop applications for spintronics. In this study, we focused on Sb ultrathin films that undergo a topological phase transition by lattice strain. In order to fabricate samples with a lattice constant theoretically predicted to be topologically nontrivial, Sb ultrathin films are prepared on a Bi substrate. The surface structure and electronic states of the Sb/Bi heterostructure were confirmed by the low-energy electron diffraction measurement and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. For 2 and 3 BL Sb films, we demonstrated the possibility of creating well-ordered immiscible ultrathin films of Sb on a Bi substrate and observed a “V”-shaped electronic band, which is significantly different from the electronic state of Bi thin films and freestanding Sb ultrathin films. This suggests that the electronic state of the Sb ultrathin film is affected by the Bi substrate. We propose that the “V”-shaped band originates from a topological phase transition due to expanded lattice constants and band hybridization between Bi and Sb. This heterostructure will provide a new platform for investigating the topological phase transitions and applications.

  • Structure of χ3-Borophene Studied by Total-Reflection High-Energy Positron Diffraction (TRHEPD)

     View Summary

    We have investigated the structure of χ3-borophene on Ag(111), a monolayer material of boron atoms, via total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction (TRHEPD). By comparing the experimental rocking-curves with ones for several structures calculated by using dynamical diffraction theory, we confirmed that the χ3-borophene layer has a flat structure. The distance from the topmost layer of the metal crystal is 2.4 Å, which is consistent with results reported by X-ray standing wave-excited X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We also demonstrated that the in-plane structure of χ3-borophene is compatible with the theoretical predictions. These structural properties indicate that χ3-borophene belongs to a group of epitaxial monolayer sheets, such as graphene, which have weak interactions with the substrates.

  • Superconductivity near the saddle point in the two-dimensional Rashba system Si(111)−√3×√3−(Tl,Pb)

    Authorship:Last author

     View Summary

    Two-dimensional Rashba superconductor Si(111)-3×3-(Tl,Pb) is a candidate platform of mixed spin-singlet and -triplet superconductivity. A recent scanning tunneling microscope (STM) experiment revealed a pseudogap at the vortex core, suggesting the finite triplet component [Nakamura, Phys. Rev. B 98, 134505 (2018)2469-995010.1103/PhysRevB.98.134505]. Detailed spectroscopic information of the superconducting gap and the low-energy band structure is necessary to establish the putative triplet superconductivity. Here, we performed high-energy-resolution spectroscopic imaging experiments on Si(111)-3×3-(Tl,Pb) using an ultralow temperature STM. We found that various spectroscopic features, including the vortex-core spectrum, are consistent with spin-singlet s-wave superconductivity, having no sign of the triplet component. The apparent contradiction with the previous STM result suggests that the nature of superconductivity changes within the same system. From the analysis of the quasiparticle interference patterns, we found that the Fermi energy is in the close vicinity of the saddle point near the M¯ point. We speculate that the nature of superconductivity varies depending on the saddle-point energy with respect to the Fermi energy, which is sample-dependent due to different band filling.

  • Scattering of topological surface-state carriers at steps on surfaces

    Naoya Fukui, Rei Hobara, Akari Takayama, Ryota Akiyama, Toru Hirahara, Shuji Hasegawa

    Physical Review B   102 ( 11 ) 115418  2020.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The resistance across a step on ultrathin films of three different topological insulators, Bi2Te3, Bi2Se3, and (Bi1-xPbx)(2)Te-3, was measured through anisotropy in two-dimensional resistivity by using the in situ square fourpoint probe method in ultrahigh vacuum. The step resistance was much larger for Bi2Te3 than for Bi2Se3 in the range of 1-10 quintuple-layer thickness, due to the smaller critical thickness for isolation of topological surface states in Bi2Te3. The transmission probability of carriers across a step is much higher for the bulk-insulating (Bi1-xPbx)(2)Te-3 than bulk-metallic Bi2Te3, due to prevention of scattering of surface-state carriers into the bulk states. We were able to deduce microscopic information concerning the transmission probability at individual steps from the resistance data obtained macroscopically.

  • Two-dimensional conducting layer on the SrTiO3 surface induced by hydrogenation

    Y. Takeuchi, R. Hobara, R. Akiyama, A. Takayama, S. Ichinokura, R. Yukawa, I. Matsuda, S. Hasegawa

    Physical Review B   101 ( 8 ) 085422  2020.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We found that a surface state induced by hydrogenation on the surface of SrTiO3(001) (STO) did not obey the rigid-band model, which was confirmed by in situ electrical resistivity measurements in ultrahigh vacuum. With exposure of atomic hydrogen on the STO, a surface state (H-induced donor state, HDS) appears within the bulk band gap (an in-gap state), which donates electrons thermally activated to the conduction band, resulting in downward bending of the bulk bands beneath the surface. The doped electrons flow through the space-charge layer in two-dimensional manner parallel to the surface. The observed semiconductor behavior in the temperature dependence of electronic conductivity is explained by the thermal activation of carriers. The HDS and the conduction band are nonrigid in energy position; they come closer with increasing the hydrogen adsorption. Eventually the HDS saturates its position around 60 meV below the conduction-band minimum. The sheet conductivity, accordingly, also saturates at ∼1.0μS□ with increasing hydrogen adsorption, corresponding to completion of the hydrogenation of the surface.

  • Alkali-metal induced band structure deformation investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations

    Physical Review B   97 ( 15 ) 155423  2018.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Alkali-metal adsorption on the surface of materials is widely used for in situ surface electron doping, particularly for observing unoccupied band structures by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). However, the effects of alkali-metal atoms on the resulting band structures have yet to be fully investigated, owing to difficulties in both experiments and calculations. Here, we combine ARPES measurements on cesium-adsorbed ultrathin bismuth films with first-principles calculations of the electronic charge densities and demonstrate a simple method to evaluate alkali-metal induced band deformation. We reveal that deformation of bismuth surface bands is directly correlated with vertical charge-density profiles at each electronic state of bismuth. In contrast, a change in the quantized bulk bands is well described by a conventional rigid-band-shift picture. We discuss these two aspects of the band deformation holistically, considering spatial distributions of the electronic states and cesium-bismuth hybridization, and provide a prescription for applying alkali-metal adsorption to a wide range of materials.

  • Anisotropic electronic band structure of intrinsic Si(110) studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B   96 ( 12 ) 125302  2017.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We have studied the electronic band structure of the hydrogen-terminated Si(110)-(1 x 1) [H:Si(110)-(1 x 1)] surface using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory with local density approximation (LDA). The bulk-truncated H: Si(110)-(1 x 1) surface is a good template to investigate the electronic band structure of the intrinsic Si(110). In the ARPES spectra, seven bulk states and one surface state due to the H-H interaction are observed clearly. The four bulk states consisting of Si 3p(xy) orbitals exhibit anisotropic band dispersions along the high symmetric direction of (Gamma) over bar-(X) over bar and (Gamma) over bar-(X) over bar' directions, where one state shows one-dimensional character. The calculated band structures show a good agreement with the experimental results except the surface state. We discuss the exact nature of electronic band structures and the applicability of LDA. We have estimated the anisotropic effective masses of electrons and holes of Si(110) for device application.

  • Emergence of charge density waves and a pseudogap in single-layer TiTe2

     View Summary

    Two-dimensional materials constitute a promising platform for developing nanoscale devices and systems. Their physical properties can be very different from those of the corresponding three-dimensional materials because of extreme quantum confinement and dimensional reduction. Here we report a study of TiTe2 from the single-layer to the bulk limit. Using angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we observed the emergence of a (2 x 2) charge density wave order in single-layer TiTe2 with a transition temperature of 92 +/- 3 K. Also observed was a pseudogap of about 28 meV at the Fermi level at 4.2 K. Surprisingly, no charge density wave transitions were observed in two-layer and multi-layer TiTe2, despite the quasi-two-dimensional nature of the material in the bulk. The unique charge density wave phenomenon in the single layer raises intriguing questions that challenge the prevailing thinking about the mechanisms of charge density wave formation.

     View Summary

    Inducing magnetism into topological insulators is intriguing for utilizing exotic phenomena such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) for technological applications. While most studies have focused on doping magnetic impurities to open a gap at the surface-state Dirac point, many undesirable effects have been reported to appear in some cases that makes it difficult to determine whether the gap opening is due to the time-reversal symmetry breaking or not. Furthermore, the realization of the QAHE has been limited to low temperatures. Here we have succeeded in generating a massive Dirac cone in a MnBi2Se4/Bi2Se3 heterostructure, which was fabricated by self-assembling a MnBi2Se4 layer on top of the Bi2Se3 surface as a result of the codeposition of Mn and Se. Our experimental results, supported by relativistic ab initio calculations, demonstrate that the fabricated MnBi2Se4/Bi2Se3 heterostructure shows ferromagnetism up to room temperature and a clear Dirac cone gap opening of similar to 100 meV without any other significant changes in the rest of the band structure. It can be considered as a result of the direct interaction of the surface Dirac cone and the magnetic layer rather than a magnetic proximity effect. This spontaneously formed self-assembled heterostructure with a massive Dirac spectrum, characterized by a nontrivial Chern number C = -1, has a potential to realize the QAHE at significantly higher temperatures than reported up to now and can serve as a platform for developing future topotronics devices.

We observed a free-electron-like state in the center of the Brillouin zone, called &ldquo;interlayer state&rdquo;, as well as the folded &pi;/&pi;* bands in Rb-, Cs-, and Ca-intercalated graphene, while it was absent in Li counterpart. Ca-intercalated bilayer graphene shows the zero-resistance below 4K, indicative of the two-dimensional superconductivity. These results suggest that the interlayer state plays an important role for the superconductivity in intercalated bilayer graphene.</p>

    The topology of pure Bi is controversial because of its very small (similar to 10 meV) band gap. Here we perform high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements systematically on 14-202 bilayer Bi films. Using high-quality films, we succeed in observing quantized bulk bands with energy separations down to similar to 10 meV. Detailed analyses on the phase shift of the confined wave functions precisely determine the surface and bulk electronic structures, which unambiguously show nontrivial topology. The present results not only prove the fundamental property of Bi but also introduce a capability of the quantum-confinement approach.

    ACS NANO   10 ( 2 ) 2761 - 2765  2016.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We report the direct evidence for superconductivity in Ca-intercalated bilayer graphene C6CaC6, which is regarded as the thinnest limit of Ca-intercalated graphite. We performed the electrical transport measurements with the in situ 4-point probe method in ultrahigh vacuum under zero- or nonzero-magnetic field for pristine bilayer graphene, Li-intercalated bilayer graphene (C6LiC6) and C6CaC6 fabricated on SiC substrate. We observed that the zero-resistance state occurs in C6CaC6 with the onset temperature (T-c(onset)) of 4 K, while the T-c(onset) is gradually decreased upon applying the magnetic field. This directly proves the superconductivity origin of the zero resistance in C6CaC6. On the other hand, both pristine bilayer graphene and C6LiC6 exhibit nonsuperconducting behavior, suggesting the importance of intercalated atoms and its species to drive the superconductivity.

    A one-atom-layer compound made of one monolayer of Tl and one-third monolayer of Pb on a Si(111) surface having root 3 x root 3 periodicity was found to exhibit a giant Rashba-type spin splitting of metallic surface-state bands together with two-dimensional superconducting transport properties. Temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy revealed an enhanced electron-phonon coupling for one of the spin-split bands. In situ micro-four-point-probe conductivity measurements with and without magnetic field demonstrated that the (Tl, Pb)/Si(111) system transformed into the superconducting state at 2.25 K, followed by the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism. The 2D Tl-Pb compound on Si(111) is believed to be the prototypical object for prospective studies of intriguing properties of the superconducting 2D system with lifted spin degeneracy, bearing in mind that its composition, atomic and electron band structures, and spin texture are already well established.

  • Rashba effect of bismuth thin film on silicon studied by spin-resolved ARPES

    A. Takayama, T. Sato, S. Souma, T. Takahashi

    JOURNAL OF ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY AND RELATED PHENOMENA   201   105 - 109  2015.05  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We report high-resolution spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of bismuth thin film on Si(1 1 1) to discuss the spin structure of surface states. We found that, unlike conventional picture of the Rashba splitting, the magnitude of the in-plane spin polarization is asymmetric between two hole pockets across the Brillouin-zone center. In addition, these pockets exhibit a giant out-of-plane spin polarization as large as the in-plane counterpart, which changes the sign across the (Gamma) over bar (M) over bar line. We also revealed that the spin polarization of the Rashba surface states near the Brillouin-zone boundary (the (M) over bar point) is gradually reduced on decreasing the film thickness. Our result provides a new pathway to generate and control spin-polarized electrons in the Rashba system. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Topological proximity effect in a topological insulator hybrid

    T. Shoman, A. Takayama, T. Sato, S. Souma, T. Takahashi, T. Oguchi, Kouji Segawa, Yoichi Ando

    NATURE COMMUNICATIONS   6   6547  2015.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    It is well known that a topologically protected gapless state appears at an interface between a topological insulator and an ordinary insulator; however, the physics of the interface between a topological insulator and a metal has largely been left unexplored. Here we report a novel phenomenon termed topological proximity effect, which occurs between a metallic ultrathin film and a three-dimensional topological insulator. We study one bilayer of bismuth metal grown on the three-dimensional topological insulator material TlBiSe2, and by using spin-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we found evidence that the topological Dirac-cone state migrates from the surface of TlBiSe2 to the attached one-bilayer Bi. We show that such a migration of the topological state occurs as a result of strong spin-dependent hybridization of the wave functions at the interface, which is also supported by our first-principles calculations. This discovery points to a new route to manipulating the topological properties of materials.

  • One-Dimensional Edge States with Giant Spin Splitting in a Bismuth Thin Film

    PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS   114 ( 6 ) 066402  2015.02  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    To realize a one-dimensional (1D) system with strong spin-orbit coupling is a big challenge in modern physics, since the electrons in such a system are predicted to exhibit exotic properties unexpected from the 2D or 3D counterparts, while it was difficult to realize genuine physical properties inherent to the 1D system. We demonstrate the first experimental result that directly determines the purely 1D band structure by performing spin-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Bi islands on a silicon surface that contains a metallic 1D edge structure with unexpectedly large Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling suggestive of the nontopological nature. We have also found a sizable out-of-plane spin polarization of the 1D edge state, consistent with our first-principles band calculations. Our result provides a new platform to realize exotic quantum phenomena at the 1D edge of the strong spin-orbit-coupling systems.

  • Rashba effect in antimony and bismuth studied by spin-resolved ARPES

    A. Takayama, T. Sato, S. Souma, T. Takahashi

    NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS   16   055004  2014.05  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We have performed spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi) thin films grown on Si(111) to elucidate the nature of the Rashba effect in the spin-split surface bands. In Sb, we revealed spin polarization with the in-plane vortical texture on an elongated hole-like Fermi surface. The spin polarization is strongly momentum-dependent, almost vanishing at the region away from the Brillouin zone center. Such unusual suppression of the spin polarization is not observed in Bi, pointing to a strong influence from the quantized bulk bands on the surface spin polarization in Sb. The present result strongly suggests that bulk-surface interband scattering should be properly taken into account to understand the Rashba surface states in group-V semimetals.

  • Relationship between Fermi surface warping and out-of-plane spin polarization in topological insulators: A view from spin- and angle-resolved photoemission

     View Summary

    We have performed spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of the topological insulator Pb(Bi,Sb)2Te4 and observed significant out-of-plane spin polarization on the hexagonally warped Dirac-cone surface state. To put this into context, we carried out quantitative analysis of the warping strengths for various topological insulators [Pb(Bi,Sb)2Te4, Bi2Te3, Bi2Se3, and TlBiSe2] and elucidated that the out-of-plane spin polarization Pz is systematically correlated with the warping strength. However, the magnitude of Pz is found to be only half that expected from the k·p theory when the warping is strong. Besides confirming a universal relationship between the spin polarization and the surface state structure, our data provide an empirical guiding principle for tuning the spin polarization in topological insulators. © 2014 American Physical Society.

  • Spin Polarization of Gapped Dirac Surface States Near the Topological Phase Transition in TlBi(S1-xSex)(2)

    S. Souma, M. Komatsu, M. Nomura, T. Sato, A. Takayama, T. Takahashi, K. Eto, Kouji Segawa, Yoichi Ando

    PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS   109 ( 18 ) 186804  2012.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We performed systematic spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of TlBi(S1-xSex)(2) which undergoes a topological phase transition at x similar to 0.5. In TlBiSe2 (x = 1.0), we revealed a helical spin texture of Dirac-cone surface states with an intrinsic in-plane spin polarization of similar to 0.8. The spin polarization still survives in the gapped surface states at x &gt; 0: 5, although it gradually weakens upon approaching x = 0.5 and vanishes in the nontopological phase. No evidence for the out-of-plane spin polarization was found, irrespective of x and momentum. The present results unambiguously indicate the topological origin of the gapped Dirac surface states, and also impose a constraint on models to explain the origin of mass acquisition of Dirac fermions.

     View Summary

    We performed a spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of bismuth ultrathin film on Si(111) with various film thickness d. We found that the spin polarization of spin-split Rashba surface states near the Brillouin-zone boundary, which is high (0.7) at d = 40 BL (bilayers), is gradually reduced on decreasing d and almost vanishes at d = 8 BL. This finding provides a novel method to generate spin-polarized electrons with tunable spin-polarization.

    We performed a systematic, high-resolution, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Bi1-x Sb-x alloys to study the evolution of electronic states as a function of Sb concentration x. We revealed that the number of Fermi-level crossings is different between the topologically trivial (x = 0.023) and nontrivial (x = 0.17) phases: four and five times for the former and latter cases, respectively. We also found a systematic expansion of the bandwidth of spin-split surface bands at the (Gamma) over bar point upon substituting Bi with Sb, which is indicative of the monotonous reduction of the spin-orbit coupling strength.

  • Direct Measurement of the Out-of-Plane Spin Texture in the Dirac-Cone Surface State of a Topological Insulator

     View Summary

    We have performed spin-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Bi2Te3 and present the first direct evidence for the existence of the out-of-plane spin component on the surface state of a topological insulator. We found that the magnitude of the out-of-plane spin polarization on a hexagonally deformed Fermi surface of Bi2Te3 reaches maximally 25% of the in-plane counterpart, while such a sizable out-of-plane spin component does not exist in the more circular Fermi surface of TlBiSe2, indicating that the hexagonal deformation of the Fermi surface is responsible for the deviation from the ideal helical spin texture. The observed out-of-plane polarization is much smaller than that expected from the existing theory, suggesting that an additional ingredient is necessary for correctly understanding the surface spin polarization in Bi2Te3.

     View Summary

    We have performed low-energy ultrahigh-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on CeSb to elucidate the bulk electronic structure responsible for the magnetic phase transition. By using a newly developed xenon-plasma discharge lamp, we clearly observed the splitting of Sb 5p(3/2) and Cc 5d bands near the Fermi level as well as their strong hybridization below the Neel temperature (T-N = 16 K). We also revealed distinct differences in the band structure between the antiferropara- and antiferromagnetic phases. These experimental results are discussed in terms of the p-f/p-d mixing effect, the exchange splitting, and the magnetic band-folding. The present result also explains the emergence of fine structures in the optical conductivity in the magnetic phase.

     View Summary

    We have performed a high-resolution angle- resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study on the newly discovered superconductor Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe(2)As(2) (T(c) = 37 K). We have observed two superconducting gaps with different values: a large gap (Delta similar to 12 meV) on the two small hole-like and electron-like Fermi surface (FS) sheets, and a small gap (similar to 6meV) on the large hole-like FS. Both gaps, closing simultaneously at the bulk transition temperature (T(c)), are nodeless and nearly isotropic around their respective FS sheets. The isotropic pairing interactions are strongly orbital dependent, as the ratio 2 Delta/k(B)T(c) switches from weak to strong coupling on different bands. The same and surprisingly large superconducting gap due to strong pairing on the two small FSs, which are connected by the (pi, 0) spin-density-wave vector in the parent compound, strongly suggests that the pairing mechanism originates from the inter-band interactions between these two nested FS sheets.

    In this study, we have performed structure analysis of one-atomic-layer borophene, which exhibits a two-dimensional Dirac electron system, using total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction (TRHEPD). Our experimental results show that the structure of χ3-borophene on Ag(111) is a flat sheet structure without buckling and a triangular lattice, which is characteristic of borophene. We also investigated the structure of honeycomb borophene on Al(111) substrates. Two structural models have been proposed in previous studies, and we discussed the validity of these structures. We also studied the electronic structure of the borophene layer in borides and their hydrogenated borophenes.

     View Summary

    Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in matter strongly affects an electron’s spin which points to various directions depending on the type of SOC interaction and crystal symmetry. In this study, we have developed our spin-resolved photoemission spectrometer and, by using this, studied the electronic structure of high functional materials in which a relation between spin and momentum plays an important role in this functionality.

    これまでに建設を進めてきた超高分解能スピン分解光電子分光装置の最終調整を行った。検出器の感度比やバックグラウンドの補正方法を確立し、データの信頼性を向上させた。バックグラウンドノイズをより減少させるため、長時間のベーク・高電圧印加を行った。各電極における印加電圧の調整、残留ガスの除去や流入ガスの遮蔽による到達真空度の向上など、装置全体の性能も高めた。
    建設した装置を用いて、Si上に作成したV族半金属Bi薄膜のRashba効果についてスピン偏極率の膜厚依存性を測定した。その結果、膜厚が薄くなるにつれて表面バンドのスピン偏極率が小さくなることを明らかにし、SiとBiの界面においても、表面と同様なRashba効果を示す可能性を初めて明らかにした。以上の結果は米国化学誌Nano Lettersに掲載され、国内外の学会にて発表を行った他、多数の新聞で報道された。また、Rashba効果による表面バンドのスピン偏極率がバルクバンドから受ける影響について明らかにするため、Sbのスピン分解ARPES測定を行った。その結果、バルクバンド射影内において表面バンドのスピン偏極率が減少する様子を観測し、バルクバンドと表面バンドの混成がスピン偏極率に与える影響を実験的に明らかにした。この結果は、日本物理学会(2012年秋季大会)にて発表した。さらに、トポロジカル相転移による表面ディラックバンドのスピン構造の変化を明らかにするため、TlBi(S_<1-x>Se_x)_2のスピン偏極率の波数および組成依存性をスピン分解ARPESにて決定した。xを変化させた各組成でスピン偏極率を測定した結果、Se濃度(x)の減少とともにスピン偏極率が弱くなり、TlBiS_2(x=0.0)ではスピン偏極率がゼロであることを実験的に初めて観測した。以上の結果は、米国物理学誌Phys. Rev. Lett.に掲載された。

     View Summary

    Rashba効果によるスピン分裂した電子状態を持つ系での超伝導は、スピン三重項超伝導の可能性が予測され、非BCS的な超伝導物質の候補として現在精力的に研究が行われている。本研究グループでは、このRashba型超伝導体の解明に向けて、表面原子層合金による超構造を対象としてこれまで研究を行っており、非BCS的超伝導ギャップの観測などを報告してきた。Rashba型超伝導においては、超伝導転移温度TcとRashba効果の大きさの関係性は、超構造の平坦性、すなわち基板との相互作用に起因する構造にも関連することが予測されているが、Rashba型超伝導となる候補物質自体が少ないことが物性解明の課題となっていた。最近、新たな候補物質となる(Pb, Bi)超構造の存在が報告され、本研究では、SiおよびGe基板上に作製した試料を用いて、角度分解光電子分光(ARPES)による電子状態の観測を行った。実験の結果、いくつかの構造で金属的な電子状態を観測したが、我々の観測した電子状態は理論予測とは異なっており、提案された構造モデルとは異なる構造をもつ可能性が示された。(Pb, Bi)合金系においては、SiとGe基板で作製できる超構造の種類やBiとPbの組成比に違いがあることが実験により再現された。また、スピン分解ARPES実験により、これらの電子状態がスピン偏極を持つことを初めて観測した。さらに、これらの物質について全反射高速陽電子回折(TRHEPD)実験による構造解析を試みた。本研究では合金に加え、Pbのみ、Biのみの表面超構造も作製して測定を行い、これらの構造との比較も行うことで、表面合金の形成過程についても議論した。角度分解光電子分光実験の結果については、国内・国際学会での発表を行い、現在論文執筆中である。@font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face {font-family:游明朝; panose-1:2 2 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-2147482905 717749503 18 0 131231 0;}@font-face {font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 402653184 335544320 0 1 0;}@font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1073743103 0 0 415 0;}@font-face {font-family:"\@游明朝"; mso-font-charset:128; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-2147482905 717749503 18 0 131231 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0mm; text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph; mso-pagination:none; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"游明朝",serif; mso-ascii-font-family:游明朝; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:游明朝; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:游明朝; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-font-kerning:1.0pt;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-size:12.0pt; mso-ansi-font-size:12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ligatures:none;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}Rashba効果によるスピン分裂した電子状態を持つ系での超伝導は、スピン三重項超伝導の可能性が予測され、非BCS的な超伝導物質の候補として現在精力的に研究が行われている。本研究グループでは、このRashba型超伝導体の解明に向けて、表面原子層合金による超構造を対象としてこれまで研究を行っており、非BCS的超伝導ギャップの観測などを報告してきた。Rashba型超伝導においては、超伝導転移温度TcとRashba効果の大きさの関係性は、超構造の平坦性、すなわち基板との相互作用に起因する構造にも関連することが予測されているが、Rashba型超伝導となる候補物質自体が少ないことが物性解明の課題となっていた。最近、新たな候補物質となる(Pb, Bi)超構造の存在が報告され、本研究では、SiおよびGe基板上に作製した試料を用いて、角度分解光電子分光(ARPES)による電子状態の観測を行った。実験の結果、いくつかの構造で金属的な電子状態を観測したが、我々の観測した電子状態は理論予測とは異なっており、提案された構造モデルとは異なる構造をもつ可能性が示された。(Pb, Bi)合金系においては、SiとGe基板で作製できる超構造の種類やBiとPbの組成比に違いがあることが実験により再現された。また、スピン分解ARPES実験により、これらの電子状態がスピン偏極を持つことを初めて観測した。さらに、これらの物質について全反射高速陽電子回折(TRHEPD)実験による構造解析を試みた。本研究では合金に加え、Pbのみ、Biのみの表面超構造も作製して測定を行い、これらの構造との比較も行うことで、表面合金の形成過程についても議論した。角度分解光電子分光実験の結果については、国内・国際学会での発表を行い、現在論文執筆中である。

  • 2次元ディラックノーダルライン物質の構造と電子状態および輸送特性の解明

    2022   秋山了太

     View Summary

    本研究ではSi基板上のCu2Si単原子層を作製し,放射光のエネルギーおよび偏光を適切に設定したARPES実験を行った。その結果,Cu2Siにおいてノーダルラインを形成するのに重要となる電子バンドを実験で初めて観測した。また,Si基板上Cu2Siではノーダルラインが非占有状態側に位置することを明らかにした。さらに,極低温・強磁場下での電気伝導測定を行った結果,本試料は極低温で弱半局在的な振る舞いを示すことを観測した。この特異な輸送特性はCu2Siのノーダルライン型電子状態が関係していることを示唆している。また,構造解析の結果,Si基板上のCu2Siはバックリングをもつ構造であることがわかった。

  • 原子層Sb超薄膜におけるトポロジカル相転移の実証

    2022   阿部浩子

     View Summary

    本研究では,Sb超薄膜のトポロジー制御・スピン物性の増幅実現を目標として,Bi基板上の原子層薄膜Sbのスピン特性を明らかにすることを目的にスピン分解ARPES測定を行った。実験は広島大学放射光科学研究センターBL9A/Bで行った。3BL-Sb薄膜/Bi(111)において新たに観測されたV字型のバンドについて面内方向のスピン分解ARPES測定を行った結果,有限のスピン偏曲率を観測した。Free-standingな3BLのSb薄膜は理論的にはスピン偏極成分を持たないため,このスピン偏極成分はBiのRashba分裂表面状態からの染み出し効果やSb超薄膜の格子引き伸ばしによるトポロジカル相転移によって生じた可能性が高いことが示唆される。

  • 対称性の破れた原子層構造における非従来型超伝導現象の直接観測

    2021  

     View Summary

    本研究では、対称性の破れた原子層構造における非従来型超伝導現象、すなわちRashba型表面超伝導の電子状態および超伝導特性について知見を得ることを目的として理化学研究所創発物性計測研究チームと共同で研究を行った。 (Tl, Pb)/Si(111)表面超構造について極低温・強磁場下での走査トンネル電子顕微鏡/分光(STM/STS)測定を行った結果、STM観測からは以前の報告と全く違いがないにもかかわらず、STS測定では従来型の超伝導特性を示すことが明らかとなった。これらの結果は、フェルミ準位がわずかに異なることでフェルミ面の形状が変化し物性が変化するリフシッツ転位によるものだと結論付けた。

  • グラフェンのディラック電子系における超伝導ギャップの直接観測

    2020  

     View Summary

    本研究において超伝導ギャップ測定を行う予定であった実験施設への立ち入りが制限されたため、本実験予定を変更し、ディラック電子系の一種であるディラックノーダルライン型電子状態を持ち、かつ超伝導発現が理論的に示唆されている単原子層Cu2Siの電子状態および超伝導発現の有無について研究を行った。極低温・磁場下での電気伝導測定および解析の結果、弱半局在効果を観測した。一方、理論の予測とは異なり超伝導は発現しなかったが、このことはSi基板の効果による歪みが超伝導発現を阻害した可能性を示唆している。さらに、電子状態測定実験と比較した結果、この弱半局在効果はディラック電子系由来のものであると考えられる。

  • 合金系表面超構造における2次元超伝導体の探索

    2019   辻川夕貴

     View Summary

     本研究は、表面超構造における低次元超伝導の物性解明を目指す研究の基盤を形成するため、新たな2次元超構造を探索することを目的して研究を行った。ディラック電子をもつ炭素の二次元シートであるグラフェンにおいて、超伝導体であるPbを数原子層蒸着するとグラフェン上にアイランドが成長するが、STMおよび電気伝導測定の結果、Pbアイランドどうしが直接接触していなくても試料全体が超伝導を示すことを見出した。このことは、Pbアイランドからの近接効果によってグラフェン上を超伝導電流が流れていることを意味しており、この系が二次元超伝導の新たな研究舞台になることを提案した。

  • ランダム欠陥を取り入れた超巨大構造としての二次元物質解析

    2019   星健夫, 辻川夕貴

     View Summary

    本研究では⽋陥を持つグラフェンの正確な物性理解と評価のため,以下の研究を行った。(i)⽋陥を含むグラフェンの作成:脱離法によりSiC基板上に作成したグラフェンを初期構造とし、Arスパッタリングによる物理的破壊によりグラフェンへ欠損を導入した。(ii)物性測定:Arスパッタリングの印加電圧依存性(0, 0.2, 1.0 kV)をSTMおよび電気伝導測定を用いて調べた。STM測定の結果、グラフェンのテラスの概形は1.0 kVでのスパッタリング後も観測された。また、電気伝導測定の結果、0.2 kVでのスパッタリングではグラフェンの電気抵抗値の変化は少なく、1.0 kVでグラフェンからの伝導度がなくなることがわかった。今後、この試料について構造解析を行う予定である。

  • 全反射高速陽電子回折を用いたノーダルライン半金属Cu2Siの構造解析

    2018  

     View Summary

    本研究は、ノーダルライン半金属の可能性が示唆されているCu/Si(111)の構造を詳細に決定するため、全反射⾼速陽電⼦回折(TRHEPD)法による鏡⾯反射スポット強度の視射⾓依存性について実験およびシミュレーションを用いて構造解析を行った。先行研究において提案されている3種類の銅シリサイド構造について、Si基板との距離やバックリング度合いを変化させた様々な構造モデルを構築し、その理論曲線を実際の測定結果と⽐較した結果、バックリングのない構造において、Cu2SiおよびCuSi2のロッキング曲線が実験結果と⽐較的近い曲線を⽰すことを⾒出した。このことは以上の成果は学位論文(学士)として提出・受理され、4月に学会発表を予定している。

  • 原子層薄膜における歪みダイナミクス測定の新手法開発

    2018   保原麗

     View Summary

     本研究では「柔軟性の高いシート上」の「柔軟性の高いグラフェン」を基板として薄膜を作成し、東京大学において連携研究者とともに歪み物性測定を行った。SiC基板上に作成した2層グラフェンからカプトンテープを用いてグラフェンの剥離・転写し、走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)を用いて観察した。この試料について電気伝導測定を行い、SiC基板上の2層グラフェンの抵抗値とおおよそ同じオーダーの抵抗値を観測した。グラファイトを用いて同様の実験を行った結果、SiC基板上のグラフェンと比べて転写率は高いものの様々な層数の薄片が混在し、層数制御は難しいことが確認できた。以上の結果は学位論文(学士)として提出・受理された。

  • 機能性原子層物質における物性・構造の完全解明

    2018  

     View Summary

    本研究は、角度分解高電子分光を用いて機能性原子層構造の電子構造の決定と物性の発現メカニズムの解明を目指した実験を行った。超伝導とディラック電子系の関係性に着目し、Pbを蒸着した2層グラフェンを用いて測定した結果、Pbアイランドによる金属的なバンド分散、さらにPb蒸着によってグラフェン特有のディラック型バンド分散がフェルミ準位側にシフトする様子を観測した。またCu/Si(111)を用いた実験では、第2ブリルアンゾーン内において新たに観測したバンドがノーダルライン型バンド分散である可能性が高いと見出した。以上の結果は、以上の成果は学位論文(学士)として提出・受理された。
