研究目的
Investigating the appearance of one-dimensional states in various geometries of topological insulators, specifically Bi2Se3, and analyzing the properties of these states.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that massless Dirac fermions can appear at the edges of thin ribbons of topological insulators, while thick rods and slabs with surface steps host massive modes localized on surface faces. The absence of one-dimensional states near edges of large rectangular rods and surface steps is also shown. The findings suggest that the difference in Dirac point energy of adjacent faces leads to the formation of massive modes.
研究不足
The study is based on a computational model that, while capturing essential physics, may not account for all structural details of real materials. The model's accuracy is limited by the parameters and approximations used.
