拓扑近藤绝缘体

Topological Kondo Insulators

Maxim Dzero, Kai Sun, Victor Galitski, Piers Coleman

摘要:

近藤绝缘体是一种特别简单的重电子材料,其中重准粒子的填充带产生窄带绝缘体。从Anderson晶格哈密顿量出发,我们对近藤绝缘体的涌现能带结构进行了拓扑分类,并表明这些材料可能具有三维拓扑绝缘相。本文提出了一个计算各种晶格结构的Z_2强、弱拓扑绝缘体指数的通用实用公式。拓扑近藤绝缘行为的实验意义进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

Kondo insulators are particularly simple type of heavy electron material, where a filled band of heavy quasiparticles gives rise to a narrow band insulator. Starting with the Anderson lattice Hamiltonian, we develop a topological classification of emergent band structures for Kondo insulators and show that these materials may host three-dimensional topological insulating phases. We propose a general and practical prescription of calculating the Z_2 strong and weak topological insulator indices for various lattice structures. Experimental implications of the topological Kondo insulating behavior are discussed.
