自旋-轨道耦合超导体中塞曼场诱导的非平凡拓扑

Zeeman field induced non-trivial topology in a spin-orbit coupled superconductor

Aaron Farrell, T. Pereg-Barnea

摘要:

在二维拓扑超导体的涡核中实现马约拉纳费米子的希望导致了各种各样的表现出拓扑超导性的器件的建议。其中许多包括通过邻近效应的超导性,因此需要在另一个系统的顶部沉积一层传统的超导体,这赋予了它的拓扑性质\cite{Fu,Sau,Alicea}。超导层的必要性带来了一些技术上的复杂性,特别是使得探测马约拉纳状态变得更加困难。在这项工作中,我们建议取代的邻近效应配对的先天倾向配对,介导的相互作用。我们使用一个具有自旋轨道耦合和在位排斥的模型系统,并将重整化群应用于相互作用顶点。在没有塞曼场的情况下,该模型在不同的通道中表现出配对不稳定性,这取决于参数的调整。一旦引入塞曼场,该模型有利于拓扑超导性,其中序参量围绕费米表面缠绕奇数次。这表明,某些超导体,与强自旋轨道耦合,可能会经历一个拓扑相变作为一个功能的应用磁场。

英文摘要:

The hope to realize Majorana fermions at the vortex core of a two dimensional topological superconductor has led to a variety of proposals for devices which exhibit topological superconductivity. Many of these include superconductivity through the proximity effect and therefore require a layer of a conventional superconductor deposited on top of another system, which lends its topological properties\cite{Fu,Sau,Alicea}. The necessity of the superconducting layer poses some technical complications and, in particular, makes it harder to probe the Majorana state. In this work we propose to replace the proximity effect pairing by an innate tendency for pairing, mediated by interactions. We use a model system with spin orbit coupling and on-site repulsion and apply renormalization group to the interaction vertex. Without a Zeeman field this model exhibits pairing instabilities in different channels depending on the tuning of parameters. Once a Zeeman field is introduced the model favors topological superconductivity where the order parameter winds an odd number of times around the Fermi surface. This suggests that certain superconductors, with strong spin-orbit coupling, may go through a topological phase transition as a function of applied magnetic field.
