非对称晶体绝缘体中的Z2-topology:表面态的Mobius扭曲

Z2-topology in nonsymmorphic crystalline insulators: Mobius twist in surface states

Ken Shiozaki, Masatoshi Sato, Kiyonori Gomi

摘要:

人们已经知道,在非相互作用系统中实现Z2拓扑相需要反幺正对称性,如时间反演或电荷共轭。拓扑绝缘体和超导纳米线是这种Z2拓扑物质的代表性示例。在这里,我们报告的第一个已知的Z2拓扑相保护的唯一酉对称性。我们表明,非对称空间群对称性的存在下,打开了一个可能性,实现Z2拓扑相位,而无需假设任何反酉对称。在不同的维度上构造Z2拓扑相,这些维度通过Hamilton映射相互紧密联系。在二维和三维中,Z2相具有与非对称空间群对称性一致的表面,因此它们支持拓扑无隙表面态。值得注意的是,表面态具有独特的能量色散与莫比乌斯扭曲,这确定了Z2阶段的实验。我们还提供了K理论中的相关结构。

英文摘要:

It has been known that an anti-unitary symmetry such as time-reversal or charge conjugation is needed to realize Z2 topological phases in non-interacting systems. Topological insulators and superconducting nanowires are representative examples of such Z2 topological matters. Here we report the first-known Z2 topological phase protected by only unitary symmetries. We show that the presence of a nonsymmorphic space group symmetry opens a possibility to realize Z2 topological phases without assuming any anti-unitary symmetry. The Z2 topological phases are constructed in various dimensions, which are closely related to each other by Hamiltonian mapping. In two and three dimensions, the Z2 phases have a surface consistent with the nonsymmorphic space group symmetry, and thus they support topological gapless surface states. Remarkably, the surface states have a unique energy dispersion with the Mobius twist, which identifies the Z2 phases experimentally. We also provide the relevant structure in the K-theory.
