论文摘要
在拓扑绝缘子(TI)的表面模式下,自旋摩托孔锁定导致由偏置电流流过Ti样品引起的自旋极电子的表面积累。在这里,我们证明扫描隧道显微镜可用于感知这种表面自旋偏振电子的积累。我们通过采用Fe涂层的W技巧以及非磁性W技巧,介绍了SN-Doped BI $ _2 $ _3 $样品的实验结果。我们观察到通过Ti样品的偏置电流的函数观察到自旋蓄能的线性增加。
Spin-momentum locking in the surface mode of topological insulators (TI) leads to the surface accumulation of spin-polarized electrons caused by bias current flows through TI samples. Here, we demonstrate that scanning tunneling microscopy can be used to sense this surface spin-polarized electron accumulation. We present experimental results of this sensing for Sn-doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$ samples by employing Fe-coated W tips as well as non-magnetic W tips. We observe a linear increase in the spin-accumulation as a function of bias current through TI samples.
