二维准晶中的四维量子霍尔效应

Four-Dimensional Quantum Hall Effect in a Two-Dimensional Quasicrystal

Yaacov E. Kraus, Zohar Ringel, Oded Zilberberg

摘要:

一维准晶表现出与二维整数量子霍尔效应相关的物理现象。在这里,我们超越尺寸,并表明,以前无法访问的物质相-四维整数量子霍尔效应-可以纳入一个二维准晶。相应地,我们的2D模型有一个量子化的电荷泵容纳了一个精心设计的边缘现象与保护的水平交叉。我们提出了实验来观察这些4D现象,并将我们的结果推广到过多的拓扑等价准晶。因此,二维准晶可能为四维物理的实验研究铺平道路。

英文摘要:

One-dimensional (1D) quasicrystals exhibit physical phenomena associated with the 2D integer quantum Hall effect. Here, we transcend dimensions and show that a previously inaccessible phase of matter --- the 4D integer quantum Hall effect --- can be incorporated in a 2D quasicrystal. Correspondingly, our 2D model has a quantized charge-pump accommodated by an elaborate edge phenomena with protected level crossings. We propose experiments to observe these 4D phenomena, and generalize our results to a plethora of topologically equivalent quasicrystals. Thus, 2D quasicrystals may pave the way to the experimental study of 4D physics.
