Topological Insulators from Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Induced by Electron Correlation on Pyrochlore Lattices

Moyuru Kurita, Youhei Yamaji, Masatoshi Imada

摘要:

研究了半填充烧绿石晶格上最近邻库仑相互作用的扩展哈伯德模型。相图中的Hartree-Fock平均场能级出现了一个具有非平凡Z_2不变量的相互作用驱动的绝缘相。这种拓扑绝缘体相与其他有序态竞争,并在由半金属、反铁磁和电荷有序绝缘体包围的参数区域中存活。这些阶段的对称性进行了群论分析。我们还表明,铁磁相互作用增强了拓扑相的稳定性。

英文摘要:

We study an extended Hubbard model with the nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction on the pyrochlore lattice at half filling. An interaction-driven insulating phase with nontrivial Z_2 invariants emerges at the Hartree-Fock mean-field level in the phase diagram. This topological insulator phase competes with other ordered states and survives in a parameter region surrounded by a semimetal, antiferromagnetic and charge ordered insulators. The symmetries of these phases are group-theoretically analyzed. We also show that the ferromagnetic interaction enhances the stability of the topological phase.
