Fractionalized topological insulators from frustrated spin models in three dimensions

摘要:

我们提出了一种U(1)自旋液体形式的三维分形拓扑绝缘体理论,其中体相含有带隙的费米子自旋子,而无带隙自旋子的表面态是拓扑保护的.从烧绿石晶格上的自旋1/2模型开始,具有受挫的反铁磁和铁磁交换相互作用,我们表明,后者的相互作用的分解,在从费米子表示的自旋,可以自然地引起一个新兴的自旋轨道耦合的自旋子。这稳定了也具有体键自旋有序的分级拓扑绝缘体。最后,我们描述了这些状态的低能量特性。

英文摘要:

We present a theory of three dimensional fractionalized topological insulators in the form of U(1) spin liquids with gapped fermionic spinons in the bulk and topologically protected gapless spinon surface states. Starting from a spin-1/2 model on a pyrochlore lattice, with frustrated antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange interactions, we show that decomposition of the latter interactions, within slave-fermion representation of the spins, can naturally give rise to an emergent spin-orbit coupling for the spinons. This stabilizes a fractionalized topological insulators which also have bulk bond spin-nematic order. Finally, we describe the low energy properties of these states.
