研究目的
Investigating the measurable properties that directly expose the topological nature of phase transitions in BiTeI, focusing on the Berry curvature dipole.
研究成果
The Berry curvature dipole in BiTeI serves as a direct signature of topological phase transitions, with its vector orientation reversing between trivial and topological insulating phases and magnitude peaking at critical points. This property can be probed through nonlinear Hall effect measurements, offering a clear experimental signature of the topological nature of the phase transitions.
研究不足
The study is computational, relying on theoretical models and first-principles calculations, which may not fully capture all experimental conditions or material imperfections.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses first-principles calculations to compute the Berry curvature dipole in BiTeI under hydrostatic pressure, analyzing its behavior across topological phase transitions.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
BiTeI samples are considered under varying hydrostatic pressures to study the transition between topological and trivial insulators.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational tools include WIEN2K for density functional theory calculations and Wannier interpolation for Berry curvature computation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The methodology involves calculating the Berry curvature and its dipole moment as a function of pressure and chemical potential, focusing on the transition points.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes comparing the Berry dipole's behavior in different phases and its enhancement at critical points, supported by a low-energy model.
