Dice格上Chern数C=2的近平带

Nearly flat band with Chern number C=2 on the dice lattice

Fa Wang, Ying Ran

摘要:

指出了在一个简单的最近邻紧束缚模型中,在骰子晶格上存在Chern数C=2的近平带的可能性。这种晶格可以由立方晶格的三个相邻的$(111)$层自然形成,这可以在某些薄膜或人工异质结构中实现,例如沿$(111)$方向生长的SrTiO $_3$/SrIrO $_3$ /SrTiO $_3$三层异质结构。两个带的平坦性受到晶格的二分性质的保护。在最近邻键上引入Rashba自旋轨道耦合,可以将平坦带与其他带分开,但保持其平坦性。排斥作用将驱动Kramer对平带上的自发铁磁性,并将它们分裂成两个近似平带,其Chern数为$C=\pm 2$。因此,我们提出这可能是一条通向量子反常霍尔效应的途径,并进一步推测C=2带的部分填充可能实现奇异的分数量子霍尔效应。

英文摘要:

We point out the possibility of nearly flat band with Chern number C=2 on the dice lattice in a simple nearest-neighbor tightbinding model. This lattice can be naturally formed by three adjacent $(111)$ layers of cubic lattice, which may be realized in certain thin films or artificial heterostructures, such as SrTiO$_3$/SrIrO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ trilayer heterostructure grown along $(111)$ direction. The flatness of two bands is protected by the bipartite nature of the lattice. Including the Rashba spin-orbit coupling on nearest-neighbor bonds separate the flat bands with others but maintains their flatness. Repulsive interaction will drive spontaneous ferromagnetism on the Kramer pair of flat bands and split them into two nearly flat bands with Chern number $C=\pm 2$. We thus propose that this may be a route to quantum anomalous Hall effect and further conjecture that partial filling of the C=2 band may realize exotic fractional quantum Hall effects.
