Intrinsic optical absorption in Dirac metals

چکیده
A Dirac metal is a doped (gated) material with the Fermi energy (EF) lying either in conduction or valence bands. In non-interacting picture, optical absorption gapless metals occurs only if frequency of incident photons (Ω) exceeds direct (Pauli) threshold, equal to 2EF. this work, we study, both analytically and numerically, role electron–electron (ee) electron–hole (eh) interactions two-dimensional (2D) three-dimensional (3D) entire interval frequencies below We show that, for Ω≪EF, conductivity, ℜσ(Ω), arising from combination ee certain eh scattering processes, scales as Ω2lnΩ 2D Ω2 3D, respectively, short-range (Hubbard) long-range (screened Coulomb) interactions. Another type similar Auger–Meitner (AM) processes atomic physics, starts contribute Ω above EF. Similar case semiconductors parabolic bands studied prior literature, AM contribution ℜσ(Ω) manifested by threshold singularity, ℜσ(Ω)∝(Ω−EF)d+2, where d spatial dimensionality 0<Ω−EF≪EF. contrast semiconductors, however, completely overshadowed other contributions. Numerically, happens be small almost range Ω<2EF. This finding may have important consequences collective modes

متن کاملOptical absorption by Dirac excitons in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides
We develop an analytically solvable model able to qualitatively explain nonhydrogenicexciton spectra observed recently in two-dimensional (20) semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides. Our exciton Hamiltonian explicitly includes additional angular momentum associated with the pseudospin degree of freedom unavoidable in 20 semiconducting materials with honeycomb structure. We claim that t...
متن کاملIntrinsic AGN Absorption Lines
Any gaseous material along our line of sight to distant quasars or, more generally, active galactic nuclei (AGNs) will absorb light according to the amounts and range of ions present. Strong absorption lines are common in rest-frame UV spectra of AGNs due to a variety of resonant transitions, for example the HI Lyman series lines (most notably Lyα λ1216) and high-ionization doublets like CIV λλ...
متن کاملMassive and massless Dirac fermions in Pb1−xSnxTe topological crystalline insulator probed by magneto-optical absorption
Dirac fermions in condensed matter physics hold great promise for novel fundamental physics, quantum devices and data storage applications. IV-VI semiconductors, in the inverted regime, have been recently shown to exhibit massless topological surface Dirac fermions protected by crystalline symmetry, as well as massive bulk Dirac fermions. Under a strong magnetic field (B), both surface and bulk...
متن کاملOPTICAL ABSORPTION IN Ce0 -V 0 EVAPORATE THIN FILMS
In this work, the optical absorption near the fundamental absorption edge of co-evaporated Ce0 -V20 films is studied. It is found that the fundamental optical absorption in these materials is sharp more like that expected for crystals. It is also found that as the V O content increases, the edge becomes less sharp and shifts towards higher wavelengths
