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

Substituting selenium into nickel ditelluride alters the strength of the spin-orbit coupling, shifting the bulk Dirac point about the Fermi energy level

March 29, 2023

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.

Quantum materials, such as topological semimetals, are materials whose electronic properties are … Read More →
