S. Nandy, A. Taraphder, Sumanta Tewari

摘要:

在体传导极限下,外磁场平行于外加电流方向时,外尔半金属和拓扑绝缘体的纵向磁阻效应为负。拓扑半金属中的负纵向磁电阻效应被认为是手征反常效应的结果,而拓扑绝缘体中的负纵向磁电阻效应还没有得到很好的定义。另一个有趣的现象,平面霍尔效应-在所施加的共面电场和磁场的平面中出现横向电压,其彼此不完全对准,其中传统的霍尔效应消失的配置,最近被认为存在于Weyl半金属中。本文提出了一种在体电导极限下三维拓扑绝缘体平面霍尔效应的准经典理论。从玻尔兹曼输运方程出发,导出了拓扑绝缘体的平面霍尔电导率和纵向磁导率的表达式,并指出了轨道磁矩对平面霍尔效应的重要作用。我们的理论结果预测特定的实验签名拓扑绝缘体,可以直接在实验中检查。

英文摘要:

Negative longitudinal magnetoresistance, in the presence of an external magnetic field parallel to the direction of an applied current, has recently been experimentally verified in Weyl semimetals and topological insulators in the bulk conduction limit. The appearance of negative longitudinal magnetoresistance in topological semimetals is understood as an effect of chiral anomaly, whereas it is not well-defined in topological insulators. Another intriguing phenomenon, planar Hall effect - appearance of a transverse voltage in the plane of applied co-planar electric and magnetic fields not perfectly aligned to each other, a configuration in which the conventional Hall effect vanishes, has recently been suggested to exist in Weyl semimetals. In this paper we present a quasi-classical theory of planar Hall effect of a three-dimensional topological insulator in the bulk conduction limit. Starting from Boltzmann transport equations we derive the expressions for planar Hall conductivity and longitudinal magnetoconductivity in topological insulators and show the important roles played by the orbital magnetic moment for the appearance of planar Hall effect. Our theoretical results predict specific experimental signatures for topological insulators that can be directly checked in experiments.
