对称保护拓扑金属

Symmetry Protected Topological Metals

Xuzhe Ying, Alex Kamenev

摘要:

我们表明,明确定义的拓扑量子相变并不局限于有间隙的电子光谱的物质状态。这种跃迁也可能发生在两个无带隙金属态之间,这两个金属态都具有扩展的费米表面。过渡的特点是由一个不连续的,但不量化,跳跃在非对角传输系数。它的清晰度受到对称性的保护,例如粒子孔,它在整个过渡中保持不间断。我们提出了一个简单的模型,这种现象的基础上,二维$p+ip$超导体与应用的超导电流,并讨论其几何解释。

英文摘要:

We show that sharply defined topological quantum phase transitions are not limited to states of matter with gapped electronic spectra. Such transitions may also occur between two gapless metallic states both with extended Fermi surfaces. The transition is characterized by a discontinuous, but not quantized, jump in an off-diagonal transport coefficient. Its sharpness is protected by a symmetry, such as e.g. particle-hole, which remains unbroken across the transition. We present a simple model of this phenomenon, based on 2D $p+ip$ superconductor with an applied supercurrent, and discuss its geometrical interpretation.
