Spin-orbit coupling in quasiparticle studies of topological insulators
We present one-shot GW calculations of the bulk electronic structure of the topological insulators Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 within the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave formalism. We compare three different ways of treating the spin-orbit interaction in calculating the quasiparticle energies: (i) The spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is already incorporated in the noninteracting syst...
متن کاملQuasiparticle interference on the surface of the topological insulator Bi2Te3
The quasiparticle interference of the spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy has been investigated for the surface states of the large gap topological insulator Bi2Te3 through the T-matrix formalism. Both the scalar-potential scattering and the spin-orbit scattering on the warped hexagonal isoenergy contour are considered. While backscatterings are forbidden by time-reversal symmet...
متن کاملComplex spin texture in the pure and Mn-doped topological insulator Bi2Te3.
Topological insulators are characterized by the presence of spin-momentum-locked surface states with Dirac points that span the fundamental bulk band gap. We show by first-principles calculations that the surface state of the insulator Bi2Te3 survives upon moderate Mn doping of the surface layers. The spin texture of both undoped and Mn-doped Bi2Te3 is much more complicated than commonly believ...
متن کاملA spin density wave in the topological insulator Bi2Te3
Topological insulators are materials with a bulk band gap, but with topologically protected, spin polarized surface states with Dirac dispersion. Bi2Te3 is such a topological insulator with a single Dirac cone at the center of the Brillouin zone. ARPES studies have shown that the Fermi surface of Bi2Te3 changes from a circle to a hexagon, and then to a hexagram, when moving away from the Dirac ...
متن کاملCorrelations in a band insulator
We study a model of a covalent band insulator with on-site Coulomb repulsion at half filling using dynamical mean-field theory. Upon increasing the interaction strength the system undergoes a discontinuous transition from a correlated band insulator to a Mott insulator with hysteretic behavior at low temperatures. Increasing the temperature in the band insulator close to the insulator-insulator...
