Pusan National University Researchers Develop Way to Tune Energy Levels of Semimetals

Tuesday, March 28, 2023

BUSAN, South Korea, March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Type-II Dirac semimetals are quantum materials with unique energy level structures, such as a bulk Dirac point (BDP). However, these semimetals are unsuitable for real-life applications because their BDP is far off the "Fermi energy level." Nickel ditelluride (NiTe2), a newly reported type-II Dirac semimetal has a BDP slightly above the Fermi level. Now, researchers have substituted tellurium with selenium in NiTe2 to alter the strength of its spin-orbit coupling and further tune its BDP.  

Key Points: 
  • However, these semimetals are unsuitable for real-life applications because their BDP is far off the "Fermi energy level."
  • Now, researchers have substituted tellurium with selenium in NiTe2 to alter the strength of its spin-orbit coupling and further tune its BDP.
  • Quantum materials, such as topological semimetals, are materials whose electronic properties are linked to exotic quantum effects.
  • Materials with tilted Dirac cones are known as type-II Dirac topological semimetals and have potential applications in topological quantum computing.
