双层石墨烯中的极性Kerr效应和时间折射对称性破缺

Polar Kerr Effect and Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Bilayer Graphene

Rahul Nandkishore, Leonid Levitov

摘要:

光学响应对不同类型对称性破缺的独特灵敏度可用于检测和识别双层石墨烯中自发有序的多体态。我们预测在光学频率的强烈响应,敏感的电子现象在低能量,这是因为非零带间矩阵元素的电流运营商。特别是,极克尔旋转和反射各向异性提供量子反常霍尔态和量子反常霍尔态的指纹,其特征在于自发破缺的时间反转对称性和晶格旋转对称性,分别。这些光学签名,经历了近红外区的共振增强,在现有的实验技术范围内。

英文摘要:

The unique sensitivity of optical response to different types of symmetry breaking can be used to detect and identify spontaneously ordered many-body states in bilayer graphene. We predict a strong response at optical frequencies, sensitive to electronic phenomena at low energies, which arises because of nonzero inter-band matrix elements of the electric current operator. In particular, the polar Kerr rotation and reflection anisotropy provide fingerprints of the quantum anomalous Hall state and the nematic state, characterized by spontaneously broken time reversal symmetry and lattice rotation symmetry, respectively. These optical signatures, which undergo a resonant enhancement in the near-infrared regime, lie well within reach of existing experimental techniques.
