摘要:

在$ν_T=1$完全填充的双层量子霍尔系统长期以来一直拒绝用真正的逆流超流体来解释,尽管许多实验特征可以被看作是“几乎”的超流体。人们普遍认为,淬火无序是造成这一难题的根本原因。在这里,我们通过研究$ν=1$双层在一个强的周期性电位模型的非微扰效应的障碍。我们的模型假设费米子是带隙的,真实的自旋是完全极化的,并集中在赝自旋变量(层指数),与外部潜在耦合的拓扑(庞特里亚金)密度的赝自旋。我们发现,随着势强度的增加,存在基态跃迁,其中赝自旋组态的拓扑内容发生变化。这些过渡一般是弱一阶,与一个新的二次分散模式(除了线性分散戈德斯通模式)有时成为几乎无间隙的过渡附近。我们发现,这导致了强supperion的Kosterlitz无相变温度和层间隧穿强度,我们处理微扰。我们将讨论如何将这些结果扩展到真正的无序的情况。

英文摘要:

The bilayer quantum Hall system at a total filling of $ν_T=1$ has long resisted explanation in terms of a true counterflow superfluid, though many experimental features can be seen to be "almost" that of a superfluid. It is widely believed that quenched disorder is the root cause of this puzzle. Here we model the nonperturbative effects of disorder by investigating the $ν=1$ bilayer in a strong periodic potential. Our model assumes that fermions are gapped and real spins are fully polarized, and concentrates on the pseudospin variable (the layer index), with the external potential coupling to the topological (Pontryagin) density of the pseudospin. We find that as the potential strength increases, there are ground state transitions in which the topological content of the pseudospin configuration changes. These transitions are generically weakly first-order, with a new quadratically dispersing mode (in addition to the linearly dispersing Goldstone mode) sometimes becoming nearly gapless near the transition. We show that this leads to strong suppressions of both the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature and the interlayer tunneling strength, which we treat perturbatively. We discuss how these results might extend to the case of true disorder.
