费米弧态中的自旋Berry相

Spin Berry phase in the Fermi arc states

Ken-Ichiro Imura, Yositake Takane

摘要:

揭示了外尔半金属纳米线的特殊电子性质。它的带色散表现出多个子带的部分平坦的色散,源自费米弧状态。值得注意的是,最低能量平坦子带具有有限大小的能隙,这意味着费米弧表面态中的电子容易受到自旋Berry相的影响。这被证明是自旋表面锁定在表面电子状态的后果。我们验证了这种行为和存在的自旋Berry相的费米弧表面态的圆柱形纳米线的低能有效理论推导出后者从散装外尔哈密顿量。我们指出,在任何自旋Berry相为π的表面态中,沿强度为hc/(2 e)的磁通量管形成零能束缚态.这种效应在被位错线穿透的无表面体系统中突出显示,该系统沿位错线显示出1D手征模式。

英文摘要:

Unusual electronic property of a Weyl semi-metallic nanowire is revealed. Its band dispersion exhibits multiple subbands of partially flat dispersion, originating from the Fermi arc states. Remarkably, the lowest energy flat subbands bear a finite size energy gap, implying that electrons in the Fermi arc surface states are susceptible of the spin Berry phase. This is shown to be a consequence of spin-to-surface locking in the surface electronic states. We verify this behavior and the existence of spin Berry phase in the low-energy effective theory of Fermi arc surface states on a cylindrical nanowire by deriving the latter from a bulk Weyl Hamiltonian. We point out that in any surface state exhibiting a spin Berry phase pi, a zero-energy bound state is formed along a magnetic flux tube of strength, hc/(2e). This effect is highlighted in a surfaceless bulk system pierced by a dislocation line, which shows a 1D chiral mode along the dislocation line.
