摘要

We study the phase transition from a topological to a normal insulator with concentration x in (Bi_(1-x)In_x)_2Se_3 and (Bi_(1-x)Sb_x)_2Se_3 in the Bi_2Se_3 crystal structure. We carry out first-principles calculations on small supercells, using this information to build Wannierized effective Hamiltonians for a more realistic treatment of disorder. Despite the fact that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength is similar in In and Sb, we find that the critical concentration x_c is much smaller in (Bi_(1-x)In_x)_2Se_3 than in (Bi_(1-x)Sb_x)_2Se_3 For example, the direct supercell calculations suggest that x_c is below 12.5% and above 87.5% for the two alloys, respectively. More accurate results are obtained from realistic disordered calculations, where the topological properties of the disordered systems are understood from a statistical point of view. Based on these calculations, x_c is around 17% for (Bi_(1-x)In_x)_2Se_3 but as high as 78%-83% for (Bi_(1-x)Sb_x)_2Se_3. In (Bi_(1-x)Sb_x)_2Se_3, we find that the phase transition is dominated by the decrease of SOC, with a crossover or "critical plateau" observed from around 78% to 83%. On the other hand, for (Bi_(1-x)In_x)_2Se_3, the In 5_s orbitals suppress the topological band inversion at low-impurity concentration, therefore accelerating the phase transition. In (Bi_(1-x)In_x)_2Se_3 we also find a tendency of In atoms to segregate.
