Raman signatures of pressure induced electronic topological and structural transitions in Bi2Te3

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report Raman signatures of electronic topological transition (ETT) at 3.6 GPa and rhombohedral (α-Bi2Te3) to monoclinic (β-Bi2Te3) structural transition at ~ 8 GPa. At the onset of ETT, a new Raman mode appears near 107 cm-1 which is dispersionless with pressure. The structural transition at ~ 8 GPa is marked by a change in pressure derivative of A1g and Eg mode frequencies as well as by appearance of new modes near 115 cm-1and 135 cm-1. The mode Grüneisen parameters are determined in both the α and β-phases.
