摘要:

手征反常是指当外加平行于磁场的电场时,具有相反手征单极的外尔半金属中的手征对称性的破坏。它的发生是因为电荷从正手性泵到负手性。对这种基本效应的实验观察一直受到对电流路径的担忧的困扰。在这里,我们明确地证明了热模拟的手征异常的拓扑绝缘体铋锑合金驱动到一个理想的外尔半金属状态的塞曼场,与化学势钉扎在外尔点,在费米面没有平凡的口袋。实验特征是在平行于热梯度的外加磁场中热导率的大幅增强,其在60 K以上遵循Wiedemann-Franz定律。电流的缺乏避免了干扰电气测量的外部效应。

英文摘要:

The chiral anomaly is the predicted break down of chiral symmetry in a Weyl semimetal with monopoles of opposite chirality when an electric field parallel to a magnetic field is applied. It occurs because of charge pumping from a positive chirality to a negative chirality monopole. Experimental observation of this fundamental effect has been plagued by concerns about the pathways of the current. Here, we unambiguously demonstrate the thermal analog of the chiral anomaly in topological insulator bismuth-antimony alloys driven into an ideal Weyl semimetal state by a Zeeman field, with the chemical potential pinned at the Weyl points, and in which the Fermi surface has no trivial pockets. The experimental signature is a large enhancement of the thermal conductivity in an applied magnetic field parallel to the thermal gradient that follows the Wiedemann-Franz law above 60 K. Absence of current flow avoids extrinsic effects that plague electrical measurements.
