0:00:02hello
0:00:03my name is trained freedom one i'm looking at the university of cambridge and today
0:00:07i want to tell you what is interesting about our electronic structure studies on the
0:00:12fisher wrote into silicon two
0:00:14it sounds like a rather export a combination of elements but it is actually a
0:00:19member of a very broad family of materials including the are make taxable conductors and
0:00:24have experiment material
0:00:27now if we don't want to know the properties of a metal we need to
0:00:30know it's crystal structure and we usually to use this from x ray diffraction measurements
0:00:35the other important bit is the electronic structure and here quantum oscillation measurements are very
0:00:40powerful pro
0:00:42so now we have you met investigated with use "'em" road young to silicon two
0:00:47which is have that mturk and all
0:00:50crystal structure we know it's lattice parameters from x ray diffraction but there's one thing
0:00:55one missing power meter
0:00:58namely position of the silicon atoms within the unit so it's that this that position
0:01:03of this so they can atoms
0:01:05so we've done
0:01:07high resolution single crystal structure refinement to find the silicon position and we perform numerical
0:01:13that israel excitation calculations to find the minimal energy
0:01:18corresponding a silicon position they both agree that are well and finally we could use
0:01:24quantum oscillations to prove that this the like and that position is right
0:01:29this is possible because the electronic structure and in particular the from a service depends
0:01:34very sensitively on the second that position
0:01:38as a result we obtain a very precise knowledge about the lattice structure fiftysome wrote
0:01:42into silicon two and he obtained a very precise knowledge about its electronic structure
0:01:48in particular we know that is this got these two from a sophistry
0:01:53so one of the implications
0:01:54first
0:01:55we know that the whole the fact shows a very justine to bend behavior and
0:02:00having proving that there are two from is to fit sheets
0:02:03and having measure then will allow for a very detailed
0:02:07description of the whole the fact and all that electronic transport properties
0:02:11more generally
0:02:13we have found that this summer stuff as topology depends very sensitively on the silly
0:02:18kinds that position and this is very common to the whole family of materials
0:02:22for the i'm take tides it's the iron thousand are an angle which is equivalent
0:02:27to the silicon that position and in the i don't think tied it determines the
0:02:31magnetic and superconducting purpose it properties of the material
0:02:35finally the feast and wrote into silicon two is an idea reference component to determine
0:02:40wrote them to select into it has got
0:02:43same structure same that just parameters even this that position of the silicon atoms is
0:02:48the same
0:02:49but there's one difference that element has one electron lesson it's for f show
0:02:54and it is this what electron missing which determines all the interesting properties of a
0:02:59tableau doomed to so they can to
0:03:02i like transform one band very close to the filming energy which hybrid eyes is
0:03:07why they can't affect with the connection electrons and thereby forms a re normalized that
0:03:12this we normalize spent has a much larger
0:03:15for me weight vector
0:03:17constituting a large from a surface
0:03:20the system wrote into silicon to has a full for actual lying well be though
0:03:25the frame energy and b are left with only the connection electrons in that sense
0:03:29it represents a small from a surface reference to that of remote into silicon two
0:03:35we can now take the measurements on the system wrote into is like into and
0:03:39compare them to those done previously on the travel wrote into silicon two
0:03:44we find very different angular dependencies of the observed quantum oscillations
0:03:49and therefore we can rule out if small for mischievous configuration for the tableau them
0:03:54to so that kinda
0:03:56as a conclusion our measurements highlight the prisons of the large from a surface in
0:04:01it or converging to select and
