Evidence for three-dimensional Dirac conical bands in TlBiSSe by optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy
Résumé
TlBiSSe is a rare realization of a three-dimensional semimetal with a conically dispersing band that has an optical response which is well isolated from other contributions in a broad range of photon energies. We report optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy on this material. When the compound is chemically tuned into a state of the lowest carrier concentration, we find a nearly linear frequency dependence of the optical conductivity below 0.5 eV. Landau level spectroscopy allows us to describe the system with a massive Dirac model, giving a gap 2 = 32 meV and an in-plane velocity parameter v xy = 4.0 × 10 5 m/s.
