摘要:

利用大规模量子蒙特卡罗(QMC)方法研究了Dirac半金属中相互作用驱动的拓扑相变.通过将狄拉克费米子与伊辛自旋耦合,引入狄拉克费米子之间的相互作用,实现二维横场伊辛模型的量子动力学。确定了以横场和费米子与伊辛自旋耦合为调谐参数的基态相图。在弱耦合和中等耦合条件下,观察到两种拓扑结构不同的Dirac半金属之间的二阶Ising量子相变和一阶拓扑相变.有趣的是,在后一种情况下,狄拉克点在布里渊区逐渐模糊,形成节线,具有SO(4)对称性的集体玻色子涨落被强烈增强。在强耦合时,这两个相界合并成一级相变。

英文摘要:

Interaction-driven topological phase transitions in Dirac semimetals are investigated by means of large-scale quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. The interaction among Dirac fermions is introduced by coupling them to Ising spins that realize the quantum dynamics of the two-dimensional transverse field Ising model. The ground state phase diagram, in which the tuning parameters are the transverse field and the coupling between fermion and Ising spins, is determined. At weak and intermediate coupling, a second-order Ising quantum phase transition and a first-order topological phase transition between two topologically distinct Dirac semimetals are observed. Interestingly, at the latter, the Dirac points smear out to form nodal lines in the Brillouin zone, and collective bosonic fluctuations with SO(4) symmetry are strongly enhanced. At strong coupling, these two phase boundaries merge into a first-order transition.
