杂质束缚态和格林函数零点作为拓扑的局部特征

Impurity Bound States and Greens Function Zeroes as Local Signatures of Topology

Robert-Jan Slager, Louk Rademaker, Jan Zaanen, Leon Balents

摘要:

我们发现,带绝缘体$\mathbf{G}_0 (ε,\mathbf{k}_{\parallel},\mathbf{r}_{\perp}=0)$,与$\mathbf{r}_\perp$的位置垂直于余维-1或-2杂质的局部间隙格林函数,揭示了相的拓扑性质。对于一个拓扑绝缘体,这个格林函数的本征值在能隙中达到零,而对于平凡绝缘体,本征值保持非零。这种拓扑分类与沿余维1和余维2杂质的带隙束缚态的存在有关。而余维1杂质可以被视为“软边”,余维2杂质的结果是不平凡的,并允许直接实验测量的拓扑性质的二维绝缘体。

英文摘要:

We show that the local in-gap Greens function of a band insulator $\mathbf{G}_0 (ε,\mathbf{k}_{\parallel},\mathbf{r}_{\perp}=0)$, with $\mathbf{r}_\perp$ the position perpendicular to a codimension-1 or -2 impurity, reveals the topological nature of the phase. For a topological insulator, the eigenvalues of this Greens function attain zeros in the gap, whereas for a trivial insulator the eigenvalues remain nonzero. This topological classification is related to the existence of in-gap bound states along codimension-1 and -2 impurities. Whereas codimension-1 impurities can be viewed as 'soft edges', the result for codimension-2 impurities is nontrivial and allows for a direct experimental measurement of the topological nature of 2d insulators.
