Tunable Line Node Semimetals

Michael Phillips, Vivek Aji

摘要:

外尔半金属是一类新的拓扑状态的物质,这是无间隙的大部分保护表面状态的例子。它们的低能量部分的特点是无质量的手征费米子,这是强大的对几何不变的扰动。这些系统的一个变体有两个非简并带沿着线而不是点接触。实现这种相的建议涉及拓扑绝缘体和磁性绝缘体的交替层,其中磁化垂直于异质结构的对称轴。其形状、大小和节线附近的色散随磁化强度的变化而变化,为控制系统的性质提供了一个新的旋钮。在本文中,我们绘制出的节点线的演变和磁化强度的电导率的依赖性,并确定在量子振荡测量的低能量部门的签名。

英文摘要:

Weyl semimetals are examples of a new class of topological states of matter which are gapless in the bulk with protected surface states. Their low energy sector is characterized by massless chiral fermions which are robust against translationally invariant perturbations. A variant of these systems have two non-degenerate bands touching along lines rather than points. A proposal to realize such a phase involves alternating layers of topological insulators and magnetic insulators, where the magnetization lies perpendicular to the symmetry axis of the heterostructure. The shape, size and the dispersion in the vicinity of the nodal lines varies with the strength of the magnetization, offering a new knob to control the properties of the system. In this paper we map out the evolution of the nodal lines and the dependence of the conductivity on magnetization and identify signatures of the low energy sector in quantum oscillation measurements.
