相互作用嵌套Weyl环和Dirac环的对称性破缺相

Broken-symmetry phases of interacting nested Weyl and Dirac loops

Miguel A. N. Araújo, Linhu Li

摘要:

我们研究相互作用引起的对称性破缺相,可以出现在金属或半金属能带结构与两个嵌套的外尔或狄拉克环。有序相可以是电荷或(伪)自旋密度波类型,或来自环间配对的超导性。对于具有整体PT对称性的哈密顿量,根据动量空间中局部反射对称性的存在与否,给出了两类Weyl环的一般分析。由此产生的密度波相位总是具有较低的总能量,并且可以是金属的、绝缘的或半金属的(具有节环),这取决于环的反射对称性和将一个环映射到另一个环的对称变换。我们将这项研究扩展到嵌套的$\mathbb{Z}_2$节线,其中有序相也包括节点和节链半金属,并自旋狄拉克节线。只有当初始的双环系统是半金属的时,环间配对产生的超导性才能完全能隙。

英文摘要:

We study interaction-induced broken symmetry phases that can arise in metallic or semimetallic band structures with two nested Weyl or Dirac loops. The odered phases can be of the charge or (pseudo)spin density wave type, or superconductivity from interloop pairing. A general analysis for two types of Weyl loops is given, according to whether a local reflection symmetry in momentum space exists or not, for Hamiltonians having a global PT symmetry. The resulting density-wave phases always have lower total energy, and can be metallic, insulating, or semimetallic (with nodal loops), depending on both the reflection symmetry of the loops and the symmetry transformation that maps one loop onto the other. We extend this study to nested $\mathbb{Z}_2$ nodal lines, for which the ordered phases include also nodal point and nodal chain semimetals, and to spinful Dirac nodal lines. Superconductivity from interloop pairing can be fully gapped only if the initial double loop system is semimetallic.
