拓扑Landau格

Topological Landau Lattice

Y. X. Zhao, Y. Lu, Hai-Zhou Lu

摘要:

拓扑费米子的概念,包括外尔费米子和狄拉克费米子,源于由磁场诱导的量子霍尔态,但拓扑费米子的定义和分类是在没有使用磁场的情况下制定的。目前还不清楚,一旦它们的本征谱被强磁场完全重建,是否以及如何探测拓扑费米子的拓扑信息。在这项工作中,我们提供了一个答案,通过映射的$d$维的拓扑费米子朗道能级(带)的$(d-1)$维晶格模型的频谱。所得到的“朗道晶格”可以对应于一个拓扑绝缘体,其拓扑性质可以由实空间拓扑不变量决定。相应地,每个零能量朗道能级(带)从朗道晶格的对应拓扑边界状态继承拓扑稳定性。通过将磁场作用下的二维Dirac费米子变换为A Ⅲ类的Su-Schrieffer-Heeger模型,将三维Weyl费米子变换为A类的Chern绝缘体,详细地论证了该理论.

英文摘要:

The concept of topological fermions, including Weyl and Dirac fermions, stems from the quantum Hall state induced by a magnetic field, but the definitions and classifications of topological fermions are formulated without using magnetic field. It is unclear whether and how the topological information of topological fermions can be probed once their eigen spectrum is completely rebuilt by a strong magnetic field. In this work, we provide an answer via mapping Landau levels (bands) of topological fermions in $d$ dimensions to the spectrum of a $(d-1)$-dimensional lattice model. The resultant "Landau lattice" may correspond to a topological insulator, and its topological property can be determined by real-space topological invariants. Accordingly, each zero-energy Landau level (band) inherits the topological stability from the corresponding topological boundary state of the Landau lattice. The theory is demonstrated in detail by transforming 2D Dirac fermions under magnetic fields to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models in class AIII, and 3D Weyl fermions to the Chern insulators in class A.
