摘要:

轴子绝缘体是一种相关的拓扑相,预测产生于外尔半金属中电荷密度波的形成。在电荷密度波相位中伴随的滑动模式,相子,是轴子。预计它会引起异常的磁电输运效应。然而,这种轴子电荷密度波迄今为止还没有被实验检测到。本文报道了在共线电场和磁场作用下,电荷密度波Weyl半金属(TaSe 4)2 I的滑动模中,对磁导有较大的正贡献(E|| B)。对磁导的正贡献来源于手征反常对相子电流的反常轴向贡献,并锁定于E和B的平行排列。通过旋转B,我们表明,磁电导的角度依赖性是一致的轴电荷密度波的反常输运。

英文摘要:

An axion insulator is a correlated topological phase, predicted to arise from the formation of a charge density wave in a Weyl semimetal. The accompanying sliding mode in the charge density wave phase, the phason, is an axion. It is expected to cause anomalous magneto-electric transport effects. However, this axionic charge density wave has so far eluded experimental detection. In this paper, we report the observation of a large, positive contribution to the magneto-conductance in the sliding mode of the charge density wave Weyl semimetal (TaSe4)2I for collinear electric and magnetic fields (E||B). The positive contribution to the magneto-conductance originates from the anomalous axionic contribution of the chiral anomaly to the phason current, and is locked to the parallel alignment of E and B. By rotating B, we show that the angular dependence of the magneto-conductance is consistent with the anomalous transport of an axionic charge density wave.
