Polarization-Driven Topological Insulator Transition in a GaN/InN/GaN Quantum Well

Journal Article Miao, M. S. ; Yan, Q. ; Van de Walle, C. G. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Topological insulator (TI) states have been demonstrated in materials with a narrow gap and large spin-orbit interactions (SOI). Here we demonstrate that nanoscale engineering can also give rise to a TI state, even in conventional semiconductors with a sizable gap and small SOI. Based on advanced first-principles calculations combined with an effective low-energy k∙p Hamiltonian, we show that the intrinsic polarization of materials can be utilized to simultaneously reduce the energy gap and enhance the SOI, driving the system to a TI state. The proposed system consists of ultrathin InN layers embedded into GaN, a layer structure that is experimentallymore » achievable.« less
