Dirac States in the Noncentrosymmetric Superconductor BiPd
Physical review B/Physical review B(2021)
摘要
Quantum materials having Dirac fermions in conjunction with superconductivity is believed to be the candidate material to realize exotic physics as well as advanced technology. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), a direct probe of the electronic structure, has been extensively used to study these materials. However, experiments often exhibit conflicting results on dimensionality and momentum of the Dirac fermions (e.g., Dirac states in BiPd, a novel noncentrosymmetric superconductor), which is crucial for the determination of the symmetry, time-reversal invariant momenta, and other emerging properties. Employing high-resolution ARPES at varied conditions, we demonstrated a methodology to identify the location of the Dirac node accurately and discover that the deviation from two dimensionality of the Dirac states in BiPd proposed earlier is not a material property. These results helped to reveal the topology of the anisotropy of the Dirac states accurately. We have constructed a model Hamiltonian considering higher-order spin-orbit terms and demonstrate that this model provides an excellent description of the observed anisotropy. Intriguing features of the Dirac states in a noncentrosymmetric superconductor revealed in this study are expected to have significant implications regarding the properties of topological superconductors.
