  • ambient pressure dirac Electron System in the quasi two dimensional molecular conductor α bets 2 i 3
    Physical Review B, 2021
    Co-Authors: Shunsuke Kitou, Takao Tsumuraya, Hikaru Sawahata, Fumiyuki Ishii, K Hiraki, Toshikazu Nakamura, Naoyuki Katayama, Hiroshi Sawa
    Abstract:

    We investigated the precise crystal structures and Electronic states of a quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductor $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{BETS})}_{2}{\mathrm{I}}_{3}$ at ambient pressure. The Electronic resistivity of this molecular solid shows metal-to-insulator (MI) crossover behavior at ${T}_{\mathrm{MI}}=50\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. Our x-ray diffraction and $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ nuclear magnetic resonance experiments revealed that $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{BETS})}_{2}{\mathrm{I}}_{3}$ maintains the inversion symmetry below ${T}_{\mathrm{MI}}$. First-principles calculations found a pair of anisotropic Dirac cones at a general $k$ point, with the degenerate contact points at the Fermi level. The origin of the insulating state in this System is a small energy gap of $\ensuremath{\sim}2\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{meV}$ opened by the spin-orbit interaction. The ${Z}_{2}$ topological invariants indicate that this System is a weak topological insulator. Our results suggest that $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{BETS})}_{2}{\mathrm{I}}_{3}$ is a promising material for studying the bulk Dirac Electron System in two dimensions.

  • emergence of the dirac Electron System in a single component molecular conductor under high pressure
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2017
    Co-Authors: Reizo Kato, Takao Tsumuraya, Tsuyoshi Miyazaki, Yoshikazu Suzumura
    Abstract:

    Single-component molecular conductors can provide a variety of Electronic states. We demonstrate here that the Dirac Electron System emerges in a single-component molecular conductor under high pressure. First-principles density functional theory calculations revealed that Dirac cones are formed in the single-component molecular conductor [Pd(dddt)2] (dddt = 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolate), which shows temperature-independent resistivity (zero-gap behavior) at 12.6 GPa. The Dirac cone formation in [Pd(dddt)2] can be understood by a tight-binding model. The Dirac points originate from the HOMO and LUMO bands, each of which is associated with different molecular layers. Overlap of these two bands provides a closed intersection at the Fermi level (Fermi line) if there is no HOMO–LUMO coupling. Two-step HOMO–LUMO couplings remove the degeneracy on the Fermi line, resulting in gap formation. The Dirac cones emerge at the points where the Fermi line intersects with a line on which the HOMO–LUMO coupling...

    Abstract:

    Single-component molecular conductors can provide a variety of Electronic states. We demonstrate here that the Dirac Electron System emerges in a single-component molecular conductor under high pressure. First-principles density functional theory calculations revealed that Dirac cones are formed in the single-component molecular conductor [Pd­(dddt)2] (dddt = 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolate), which shows temperature-independent resistivity (zero-gap behavior) at 12.6 GPa.

  • extreme density driven delocalization error for a model solvated Electron System
    Journal of Chemical Physics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Erin R Johnson, Alberto Oterodelaroza, Stephen G Dale
    Abstract:

    Delocalization (or charge-transfer) error is one of the scarce but spectacular failures of density-functional theory. It is particularly apparent in extensively delocalized molecules, and manifests in the calculation of bandgaps, reaction barriers, and dissociation limits. Even though delocalization error is always present in the self-consistent Electron density, the differences from reference densities are often quite subtle and the error tends to be driven by the exchange-correlation energy expression. In this article, we propose a model System (the Kevan model) where approximate density functionals predict dramatically different charge distributions because of delocalization error. The model System consists of an Electron trapped in a water hexamer and is a finite representation of an experimentally observed class of solids: electrides. The Kevan model is of fundamental interest because it allows the estimation of charge transfer error without recourse to fractional charge calculations, but our results are also relevant in the context of the modeling of confined Electrons in density-functional theory.

  • interplay of spin orbit coupling and coulomb interaction in zno based Electron System
    Nature Communications, 2021
    Co-Authors: D Maryenko, Minoru Kawamura, A Ernst, V K Dugaev, Ya E Sherman, M Kriener, M S Bahramy
    Abstract:

    Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is pivotal for various fundamental spin-dependent phenomena in solids and their technological applications. In semiconductors, these phenomena have been so far studied in relatively weak ElectronElectron interaction regimes, where the single Electron picture holds. However, SOC can profoundly compete against Coulomb interaction, which could lead to the emergence of unconventional Electronic phases. Since SOC depends on the electric field in the crystal including contributions of itinerant Electrons, ElectronElectron interactions can modify this coupling. Here we demonstrate the emergence of the SOC effect in a high-mobility two-dimensional Electron System in a simple band structure MgZnO/ZnO semiconductor. This Electron System also features strong ElectronElectron interaction effects. By changing the carrier density with Mg-content, we tune the SOC strength and achieve its interplay with ElectronElectron interaction. These Systems pave a way to emergent spintronic phenomena in strong Electron correlation regimes and to the formation of quasiparticles with the Electron spin strongly coupled to the density. The coexistence of spin–orbit and ElectronElectron interactions is expected to give rise to novel Electronic phases and spin textures, but it is challenging to achieve in experiments. Here the authors realize such a regime in a two-dimensional Electron System at a MgZnO/ZnO interface, by tuning the carrier density.
