Möbius Kondo Insulators

Po-Yao Chang, Onur Erten, Piers Coleman

摘要:

重费米子材料因其将拓扑保护与强关联电子物理相结合的潜力而近年来引起人们的关注。到目前为止,拓扑保护的思想仅限于具有最简单点群对称性的重费米子或“近藤”绝缘体。在这里,我们认为,在许多重费米子材料的非对称晶体对称性的存在下,开辟了一个新的家庭的拓扑保护的重电子系统。对非对称重费米子绝缘体Ce $_3$ Bi $_4$ Pt $_3$和CeNiSn的档案电阻率测量的重新检查揭示了低温电导率平台的存在,使它们成为新材料类别的候选成员。我们用CeNiSn的一个特定模型来说明我们的想法,展示了滑动对称性如何产生一种新的莫比乌斯编织的表面态,这种编织可以通过ARPES或非局部电导率测量来检测。强关联的一个有趣的效应是在表面上的部分局域化或“近藤击穿”的发展,其将Mobius表面态转变为准一维导体,具有新颖的电子相变的潜力。

英文摘要:

Heavy fermion materials have recently attracted attention for their potential to combine topological protection with strongly correlated electron physics. To date, the ideas of topological protection have been restricted to the heavy fermion or "Kondo" insulators with the simplest point-group symmetries. Here we argue that the presence of nonsymmorphic crystal symmetries in many heavy fermion materials opens up a new family of topologically protected heavy electron systems. Re-examination of archival resistivity measurements in nonsymmorphic heavy fermion insulators Ce$_3$Bi$_4$Pt$_3$ and CeNiSn reveals the presence of low temperature conductivity plateau, making them candidate members of the new class of material. We illustrate our ideas with a specific model for CeNiSn, showing how glide symmetries generate surface states with a novel Mobius braiding that can be detected by ARPES or non-local conductivity measurements. One of the interesting effects of strong correlation, is the development of partially localization or "Kondo breakdown" on the surfaces, which transforms Mobius surface states into quasi-one dimensional conductors, with the potential for novel electronic phase transitions.
