项目摘要
Non-technical Abstract:This study aims at investigating key electronic and optical excitation processes in cadmiumarsenide, one of the recently discovered "Dirac semimetals". Its electrons behave as though they are massless and exhibit very high mobilities and velocities, so the material may be considered the bulk analog of graphene. It is very stable, has a 3-D crystal structure, and can be integrated with existing electronics. It is also a starting material from which to realize a magnetic Weyl semimetal in which, unusually, the direction of the electrons' spin would be determined by the direction of their motion. This research includes the synthesis and characterization of cadmium arsenide bulk crystals and thin films, bothundoped and magnetically-doped, using chemical vapor deposition at reduced temperature. The researchmeasures electrons' diffusion, and uses several time-resolved probes including terahertz spectroscopy andphotoemission. Improved knowledge of growth methods and electronic properties of 3-D Dirac materials,as provided by this research, is important in realizing the materials' technological promise. Applicationssuch as fast electronics, fast or broadband optical sensors, or actively mode-locked lasers all rely onultrafast and optical properties explored in this research. This work supports graduate and undergraduateresearchers (the latter at a primarily-undergraduate institution), who engage with the growth andcharacterization of cadmium arsenide, operate laser experiments, handle cryogens, write computer code,and analyze complex sets of data. Because of the scientific and industrial relevance of condensed-matterphysics, and the rapid growth of ultrafast technology, the students become prepared for a wide variety ofscientific and technical careers.Technical Abstract:The Dirac and Weyl materials host properties including the chiral anomaly, unusual quantummagneto-resistance, and predicted giant diamagnetism. Their near-lack of a Fermi surface causesanomalous transport, with the scattering rate, density of states, and diffusivity strongly dependent onenergy; the conductivity rises linearly with frequency. The materials' restrictive phase-space suggests, inanalogy with graphene, that it should be possible to control their optical and transport properties on subpicosecond timescales, for instance by doping with photoexcited carriers. The investigators explore thenature of these photoexcited carriers: their density and temperature; their effect on diffusivity andconductivity; and their dispersion. Of particular interest is identifying the conditions under which photocarriers can exhibit the same distinctive Dirac behaviors as their host material. Selection of different pump-photon energies allow excitation of massless initial states or the higher-energy massive ones. Transient-grating spectroscopy measures photocarriers' diffusivity. Terrahertz spectroscopy measures their conductivity, indicative of scattering rate, chemical potential, and massive or massless character. Time-resolved photoemission reveals the transiently-occupied states invisible to traditional photoemission. Another part of this work improves vapor-based synthesis of cadmium arsenide crystals and films, exploring methods and effects of doping with magnetic atoms and contributing toward the effort to make a ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal.
非技术摘要:这项研究的目的是调查关键的电子和光学激发过程中的砷化镉,最近发现的“狄拉克半金属”之一。它的电子表现得好像它们是无质量的,并且表现出非常高的迁移率和速度,因此该材料可以被认为是石墨烯的块状类似物。它非常稳定,具有3D晶体结构,可以与现有的电子产品集成。它也是实现磁性外尔半金属的起始材料,在磁性外尔半金属中,电子的自旋方向通常由它们的运动方向决定。这项研究包括砷化镉大块晶体和薄膜的合成和表征,无论是未掺杂的和磁掺杂的,在降低温度下使用化学气相沉积。这项研究测量了电子的扩散,并使用了几种时间分辨探针,包括太赫兹光谱和光电发射。本研究提供的三维狄拉克材料的生长方法和电子性质的改进知识,对于实现材料的技术承诺是重要的。快速电子学、快速或宽带光学传感器或主动锁模激光器等应用都依赖于本研究中探索的超快和光学特性。这项工作支持研究生和本科生研究人员(后者在小学本科院校),他们从事砷化镉的生长和表征,操作激光实验,处理冷冻剂,编写计算机代码,并分析复杂的数据集。由于凝聚态物理学的科学和工业相关性,以及超快技术的快速发展,学生们为各种科学和技术职业做好了准备。技术摘要:狄拉克和外尔材料的性质包括手性异常,不寻常的量子磁阻和预测的巨抗磁性。它们几乎没有费米面,导致了反常的输运,散射率、态密度和扩散率强烈依赖于能量;电导率随频率线性上升。与石墨烯不同,这种材料的限制性相空间表明,在亚皮秒时间尺度上控制它们的光学和传输特性是可能的,例如通过掺杂光激发载流子。研究人员探索这些光激发载流子的性质:它们的密度和温度;它们对扩散率和电导率的影响;以及它们的分散。特别令人感兴趣的是确定条件下,光载流子可以表现出相同的独特的狄拉克行为作为他们的主机材料。选择不同的泵浦光子能量允许激发无质量的初始状态或更高能量的有质量的。瞬态光栅光谱测量光载流子的扩散率。太赫兹光谱测量它们的电导率,指示散射率,化学势和有质量或无质量的特征。时间分辨光电子能谱揭示了传统光电子能谱所看不到的瞬态占据态。这项工作的另一部分改进了砷化镉晶体和薄膜的气相合成,探索了掺杂磁性原子的方法和效果,并为制造铁磁Weyl半金属做出了贡献。
