Hamiltonian decomposition for bulk and surface states.
We demonstrate that a tight-binding Hamiltonian with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor hopping integrals can be decomposed into bulk and boundary parts for honeycomb lattice systems. The Hamiltonian decomposition reveals that next-nearest-neighbor hopping causes sizable changes in the energy spectrum of surface states even if the correction to the energy spectrum of bulk states is negligible. ...
متن کاملBulk metals with helical surface states
In the flurry of experiments looking for topological insulator materials, it has been recently discovered that some bulk metals very close to topological insulator electronic states support the same topological surface states that are the defining characteristic of the topological insulator. First observed in spin-polarized angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy ARPES in Sb D. Hsieh et al., ...
متن کاملEffective Hamiltonian for surface states of topological insulator nanotubes
In this work we derive an effective Hamiltonian for the surface states of a hollow topological insulator (TI) nanotube with finite width walls. Unlike a solid TI cylinder, a TI nanotube possesses both an inner as well as outer surface on which the states localized at each surface are coupled together. The curvature along the circumference of the nanotube leads to a spatial variation of the spin...
متن کاملElectronic states of intrinsic surface and bulk vacancies in FeS2.
Understanding the stability and reactivity of iron sulfide phases is key to developing predictive capabilities for assessing their corrosion and catalytic activity. The differences between the free surface and the bulk interior of such phases are of particular importance in this context. Here, we employ density functional theory to investigate the formation energetics and electronic structure o...
متن کاملBulk and surface bound states in the continuum
We examine bulk and surface bound states in the continuum (BIC), that is, square-integrable, localized modes embedded in the linear spectral band of a discrete lattice including interactions to first and second nearest neighbors. We suggest an efficient method for generating such modes and the local bounded potential that supports the BIC, based on the pioneering Wigner–von Neumann concept. It ...
