第二类狄拉克光子

Type-II Dirac Photons

Hai-Xiao Wang, Yige Chen, Zhi Hong Hang, Hae-Young Kee, Jian-Hua Jiang

摘要:

相对论电子波的狄拉克方程是外尔费米子和马约拉纳费米子以及拓扑绝缘体的母模型。三维光子晶体中狄拉克物理的模拟,虽然对于光学频率的拓扑现象非常重要,但遇到了Kramers双简并和宇称反转综合的挑战。在这里,我们将展示如何II型狄拉克点-奇异狄拉克相对论波尚未被发现-是通过非对称螺旋对称鲁棒地实现。涌现的第二类狄拉克点具有非平凡的拓扑,是第二类外尔点的母态。所提出的全电介质结构使得在光子晶体-空气界面处的稳健腔态和异常折射成为可能,并且具有非常低的能量耗散。

英文摘要:

The Dirac equation for relativistic electron waves is the parent model for Weyl and Majorana fermions as well as topological insulators. Simulation of Dirac physics in three-dimensional photonic crystals, though fundamentally important for topological phenomena at optical frequencies, encounters the challenge of synthesis of both Kramers double degeneracy and parity inversion. Here we show how type-II Dirac points---exotic Dirac relativistic waves yet to be discovered---are robustly realized through the nonsymmorphic screw symmetry. The emergent type-II Dirac points carry nontrivial topology and are the mother states of type-II Weyl points. The proposed all-dielectric architecture enables robust cavity states at photonic-crystal---air interfaces and anomalous refraction, with very low energy dissipation.
