Weyl半金属的圆声子二向色性

Circular phonon dichroism in Weyl semimetals

Donghao Liu, Junren Shi

摘要:

我们推导了强自旋轨道耦合下磁性金属的声子动力学。我们表明,无耗散粘度和耗散粘度出现在动力学。当无耗散粘性分裂左手和右手圆极化声子的色散时,耗散粘性不同地阻尼它们,诱导圆声子二向色性。这种效应提供了一种新的声子操纵程度,即,声子极化的控制。我们研究外尔半金属的影响。我们发现Weyl半金属中存在着很强的圆声子二向色性,同时打破了时间反转和反转对称性,使它们成为实现声学圆极化器的潜在材料。

英文摘要:

We derive the phonon dynamics of magnetic metals in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. We show that both a dissipationless viscosity and a dissipative viscosity arise in the dynamics. While the dissipationless viscosity splits the dispersion of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized phonons, the dissipative viscosity damps them differently, inducing circular phonon dichroism. The effect offers a new degree of manipulation of phonons, i.e., the control of the phonon polarization. We investigate the effect in Weyl semimetals. We find that there exists strong circular phonon dichroism in Weyl semimetals breaking both the time-reversal and the inversion symmetry, making them potential materials for realizing the acoustic circular polarizer.
