Dirac-Weyl半金属中β函数的直接测量和边界附近Schwinger效应的间接检验

Direct measurement of a beta function and an indirect check of the Schwinger effect near the boundary in Dirac-Weyl semimetals

摘要:

典型导体内部的电场随着屏蔽长度呈指数下降,该屏蔽长度由系统的固有长度尺度(诸如移动载流子的密度)确定。我们表明,在一个经典的共形系统的边界,其中的内在的长度尺度是缺席的,外部电场的屏蔽是由量子共形异常与重整化的电荷。电场以代数方式衰减,其分数幂由系统的β函数确定。我们认为,这种“反常的共形屏蔽效应”是相对论场论中施温格对产生的间接表现。我们讨论了狄拉克和外尔半金属中所提出的现象的实验可行性,这将允许直接实验访问的β函数。

英文摘要:

The electric field inside typical conductors drops down exponentially with the screening length determined by an intrinsic length scale of the system such as the density of mobile carriers. We show that in a classically conformal system with boundaries, where the intrinsic length scale is absent, the screening of an external electric field is governed by the quantum conformal anomaly associated with the renormalization of the electric charge. The electric field decays algebraically with a fractional power determined by the beta function of the system. We argue that this `anomalous conformal screening effect' is an indirect manifestation of the Schwinger pair production in relativistic field theory. We discuss the experimental feasibility of the proposed phenomenon in Dirac and Weyl semimetals what would allow direct experimental access to the beta function.
