Temperature dependence of the energy band gap in ZrTe 5 : Implications for the topological phase

Résumé

Using Landau-level spectroscopy, we determine the temperature dependence of the energy band gap in zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe 5). We find that the band gap reaches E g = (5 ± 1) meV at low temperatures and increases monotonically when the temperature is raised. This implies that ZrTe 5 is a weak topological insulator, with noninverted ordering of electronic bands in the center of the Brillouin zone. Our magnetotransport experiments performed in parallel show that the resistivity anomaly in ZrTe 5 is not connected with the temperature dependence of the band gap.
