Weyl和Dirac半金属中表面费米弧的量子振荡

Quantum Oscillations from Surface Fermi-Arcs in Weyl and Dirac Semi-Metals

Andrew C. Potter, Itamar Kimchi, Ashvin Vishwanath

摘要:

外尔半金属的表面态由不连续的费米弧组成。这种不寻常的表面费米学提供了大量Weyl相的拓扑特征的指纹。使用半经典和数值方法相结合,我们表明,与天真的期望,有封闭的磁轨道涉及开放的表面费米弧。在取决于样品厚度的临界场强以下,这些轨道在磁场中产生态密度的周期性量子振荡,从而能够对非常规费米弧表面态进行各种实验探测。这些轨道对于再现有限平板中的体手征异常也是必不可少的。这些结果,然后扩展到密切相关的和最近发现的3D狄拉克SM材料,包括Cd3As2和Na3Bi,这是Weyl半金属晶体对称性保护的双重副本。尽管保护晶体对称性被表面破坏,我们表明狄拉克材料仍然可以拥有非常规的表面态,这可以在量子振荡实验中检测到。

英文摘要:

The surface states of Weyl semi-metals (SM's) consist of disjointed Fermi-arcs. This unusual surface-Fermiology provides a fingerprint of the topological features of the bulk Weyl-phase. Using a combination of semiclassical and numerical methods, we show that, in contrast to naive expectation, there are closed magnetic orbits involving the open- surface Fermi-arcs. Below a critical field strength that depends on sample thickness, these orbits produce periodic quantum oscillations of the density of states in a magnetic field, enabling a variety of experimental probes of the unconventional Fermi-arc surface states. The orbits are also essential for reproducing the bulk chiral anomaly in a finite slab. These results are then extended to the closely related and recently discovered 3D Dirac SM materials, including Cd3As2 and Na3Bi, which are doubled copies of Weyl semi-metals protected by crystal symmetry. Despite the fact that the protecting crystal symmetry is broken by a surface, we show that Dirac materials can still host unconventional surface-states, which can be detected in quantum oscillations experiments.
