锯齿形石墨烯带中的赝手征反常

Pseudo chiral anomaly in zigzag graphene ribbons

Chang-An Li

摘要:

作为石墨烯的三维类似物,外尔半金属显示出手性异常的特征,这是由于在平行电场和磁场存在下外尔节点的最低手性朗道能级之间的电荷泵浦引起的。本文研究了锯齿形边缘石墨烯带中的赝手征反常及其输运特征。这里的“伪”是指锯齿形石墨烯带的宽度的倒数在三维Weyl半金属中起到与磁场相同的作用的情况。锯齿形石墨烯带中的谷手性带可以由边缘电势引入,从而引起手性电流的不守恒,即,伪手性异常,在纵向电场的存在下。进一步的数值计算结果表明,锯齿形石墨烯带的赝导率为正,且与赝场近似呈二次函数关系,这被认为是赝手征异常的输运特征.

英文摘要:

As the three-dimensional analogs of graphene, Weyl semimetals display signatures of chiral anomaly which arises from charge pumping between the lowest chiral Landau levels of the Weyl nodes in the presence of parallel electric and magnetic fields. In this work, we study the pseudo chiral anomaly and its transport signatures in graphene ribbon with zigzag edges. Here "pseudo" refers to the case where the inverse of width of zigzag graphene ribbon plays the same role as magnetic field in three-dimensional Weyl semimetals. The valley chiral bands in zigzag graphene ribbons can be introduced by edge potentials, giving rise to the nonconservation of chiral current, i.e., pseudo chiral anomaly, in the presence of a longitudinal electric field. Further numerical results reveal that pseudo magnetoconductivity of zigzag graphene ribbons is positive and has a nearly quadratic dependence on the pseudofield, which is regarded as the transport signature of pseudo chiral anomaly.
