摘要:

在真实物质中探测狄拉克、马约拉纳和外尔费米子,可能会大大加强高能物理和凝聚态物理之间的桥梁。虽然狄拉克费米子在石墨烯和拓扑绝缘体中的存在已经得到了很好的证实,最近已经报道了马约拉纳粒子,而在非中心对称晶体中发现外尔费米子的证据仅在几个月前,尽管有许多理论预测和密集的实验研究,“磁性”外尔费米子仍然难以捉摸。为了检测时间反演对称性破缺Weyl态,我们设计了两种费米速度优于石墨烯的材料,并在这里提出了在其中一种YbMnBi 2中实现这种状态的实验证据。我们的模型的时间反转对称性破缺观察到的磁化强度测量由一个倾斜的反铁磁状态,并找到了一些外尔点以上和以下的费米能级。使用角分辨光电子能谱,我们直接观察到这些后外尔点和奇异状态的标志-连接这些点的表面状态的弧。我们的研究结果不仅提供了物理学的两个领域之间的基本联系,但也展示了实用的方法来设计具有奇异特性的新材料。

英文摘要:

Detection of Dirac, Majorana and Weyl fermions in real materials may significantly strengthen the bridge between high-energy and condensed-matter physics. While the presence of Dirac fermions is well established in graphene and topological insulators, Majorana particles have been reported recently and evidence for Weyl fermions in non-centrosymmetric crystals has been found only a couple of months ago, the 'magnetic' Weyl fermions are still elusive despite numerous theoretical predictions and intense experimental search. In order to detect a time-reversal symmetry breaking Weyl state we designed two materials with Fermi velocities superior to that of graphene and present here the experimental evidence of the realization of such a state in one of them, YbMnBi2. We model the time reversal symmetry breaking observed by magnetization measurements by a canted antiferromagnetic state and find a number of Weyl points both above and below the Fermi level. Using angle-resolved photoemission, we directly observe these latter Weyl points and a hallmark of the exotic state - the arc of the surface states which connects these points. Our results not only provide a fundamental link between the two areas of physics, but also demonstrate the practical way to design novel materials with exotic properties.
