多Weyl半金属中手征反常的拓扑响应

Topological responses from chiral anomaly in multi-Weyl semimetals

Ze-Min Huang, Jianhui Zhou, Shun-Qing Shen

摘要:

多Weyl半金属是一种具有多个外电荷的离散Weyl节点的拓扑相,在电场和磁场的作用下,会出现轴向电流不守恒的手征反常现象.系统地研究了电磁场和轴向电磁场共同作用下多Weyl半金属中与手征反常有关的电子输运性质。研究发现,非均匀应变引起的反常霍尔电导率与轴向矢势成线性关系。轴向电场导致轴向霍尔电流,该电流与动量空间中Weyl节点的距离成比例。即使在没有外部电磁场的情况下,这种轴向电流也可以通过精细地设计轴向电磁场来产生外尔费米子的手征积累。因此,这项工作提供了一个在Weyl半金属的手性积累的产生机制,并可能在谷电子学的新兴领域的Weyl半金属的应用提供了新的思路。

英文摘要:

Multi-Weyl semimetals are a kind of topological phase of matter with discrete Weyl nodes characterized by multiple monopole charges, in which the chiral anomaly, the anomalous nonconservation of an axial current, occurs in the presence of electric and magnetic fields. Electronic transport properties related to the chiral anomaly in the presence of both electromagnetic fields and axial electromagnetic fields in multi-Weyl semimetals are systematically studied. It has been found that the anomalous Hall conductivity has a modification linear in the axial vector potential from inhomogeneous strains. The axial electric field leads to an axial Hall current that is proportional to the distance of Weyl nodes in momentum space. This axial current may generate chirality accumulation of Weyl fermions through delicately engineering the axial electromagnetic fields even in the absence of external electromagnetic fields. Therefore, this work provides a nonmagnetic mechanism of generation of chirality accumulation in Weyl semimetals and might shed new light on the application of Weyl semimetals in the emerging field of valleytronics.
