磁场作用下拓扑半金属中的量子输运

Quantum Transport in Topological Semimetals under Magnetic Fields

Hai-Zhou Lu, Shun-Qing Shen

摘要:

拓扑半金属是物质的三维拓扑状态,其中传导带和价带在有限数量的点处接触,即,外尔节点拓扑半金属在Weyl节点上有成对的Berry曲率的单极子和反单极子,在某些表面上有拓扑保护的费米弧。本文根据磁场的强度,综述了我们最近在拓扑半金属中量子输运方面的工作。在弱磁场下,弱反局域化效应引起的正磁电阻率与非平凡Berry曲率引起的负磁电阻率之间存在竞争。我们提出了一个弱反局域化的磁导率的拟合公式。我们认为,弱局域化可能是由层间效应和相互作用效应引起的,并发生在双Weyl半金属中。对于拓扑半金属中由非平凡Berry曲率引起的负磁电阻,我们给出了负磁电阻与载流子密度的关系。在强磁场下,特别是在量子极限下,磁导依赖于无序散射势的类型和范围。高场正磁导率可能不是一个令人信服的签名的手征异常。对于长程高斯散射势和半填充情况,磁导率在量子极限下可以是线性的。在Weyl节点处发现了最小的电导率,尽管那里的态密度为零。

英文摘要:

Topological semimetals are three-dimensional topological states of matter, in which the conduction and valence bands touch at a finite number of points, i.e., the Weyl nodes. Topological semimetals host paired monopoles and antimonopoles of Berry curvature at the Weyl nodes and topologically protected Fermi arcs at certain surfaces. We review our recent works on quantum transport in topological semimetals, according to the strength of the magnetic field. At weak magnetic fields, there are competitions between the positive magnetoresistivity induced by the weak anti-localization effect and negative magnetoresistivity related to the nontrivial Berry curvature. We propose a fitting formula for the magnetoconductivity of the weak anti-localization. We expect that the weak localization may by induced by inter- alley effects and interaction effect, and occur in double-Weyl semimetals. For the negative magnetoresistance induced by the nontrivial Berry curvature in topological semimetals, we show the dependence of the negative magnetoresistance on the carrier density. At strong magnetic fields, specifically, in the quantum limit, the magnetoconduction depends on the type and range of the scattering potential of disorder. The high-field positive magnetoconductivity may not be a compelling signature of the chiral anomaly. For long-range Gaussian scattering potential and half filling, the magnetoconductivity can be linear in the quantum limit. A minimal conductivity is found at the Weyl nodes although the density of states vanishes there.
