非Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson情形下零能隙半导体拓扑Mott跃迁的Phase Diagram结构

Phase Diagram Structure of Topological Mott Transition for Zero-gap Semiconductors beyond Conventional Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson Scenario

Moyuru Kurita, Youhei Yamaji, Masatoshi Imada

摘要:

我们发现,一个广泛的类的非常规量子临界出现时,轨道电流导致量子相变从零间隙半导体,如狄拉克费米子的拓扑绝缘体(TI)或陈绝缘体(CI)。费米表面拓扑结构的变化伴随着(SU(2)或时间反演)对称性破缺产生量子临界线(QCL),甚至超过量子临界点。在温度$T=0$下运行的QCL分离两个不同的拓扑相。这与有限温度临界线在量子临界点处的简单终止而在$T=0$处没有任何延伸形成对比。拓扑结构的改变导致了传统Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson(LGW)方案中简单的自发对称性破缺概念之外的非传统性。平均场临界指数β>1/2和δ <3所隐含的非常规普适性受到量子临界线的存在的保护。它出现了几个特定的晶格模型,包括蜂窝,kagome,金刚石和烧绿石晶格。我们还澄清在这些晶格在有限温度下的拓扑相位的相图。

英文摘要:

We show that a wide class of unconventional quantum criticality emerges when orbital currents cause quantum phase transitions from zero-gap semiconductors such as Dirac fermions to topological insulator (TI) or Chern insulator (CI). Changes in Fermi surface topology concomitant with (SU(2) or time reversal) symmetry breakings generate quantum critical lines (QCL) even beyond the quantum critical point. This QCL running at temperature $T=0$ separates two distinct topological phases. This is in contrast to the simple termination of the finite temperature critical line at the quantum critical point without any extension of it at $T=0$. Topology change causes the unconventionality beyond the concept of simple spontaneous symmetry breaking assumed in the conventional Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) scenario. The unconventional universality implied by mean-field critical exponents beta>1/2 and delta<3 is protected by the existence of the quantum critical line. It emerges for several specific lattice models including the honeycomb, kagome, diamond and pyrochlore lattices. We also clarify phase diagrams of the topological phases in these lattices at finite temperatures.
