理想拓扑绝缘体平坦带中的激子Laughlin态及其在莫尔超晶格材料中的可能存在

Excitonic Laughlin States in Ideal Topological Insulator Flat Bands and Possible Presence in Moiré Superlattice Materials

Nikolaos Stefanidis, Inti Sodemann

摘要:

本文研究了半填充最大对称拓扑绝缘体平带中的少体态和多体态,这些平带由两个简并的朗道能级在相反的磁场作用下实现。这是一个玩具模型的平带莫尔材料,其中谷陈数$C= \pm 1$。我们认为,尽管自发极化的Ising Chern磁体是排斥库仑相互作用的自然基态,但当考虑到相互作用的短程修正时,它可以与关联态(可视为激子的Laughlin态)进行合理的能量竞争.这是因为这些能带中的电荷中性激子有效地表现为普通朗道能级中的带电粒子。特别地,一旦短程谷内排斥的强度比谷间排斥大大约$30\%$,则陈义兴磁体不再是基态。值得注意的是,这些激子劳克林态的特征是谷数分数化,但没有电荷分数化,并且量子化的电荷霍尔电导率与伊辛磁体$σ_{xy}= \pm e^2/h$相同,因此不能通过普通的电荷输运测量来区分。在这些能带中可以构建的最紧凑的激子Laughlin态是$ν=1/4$玻色子Laughlin态的类似物,并且没有谷极化,即使它自发地打破了与电荷霍尔电导率$σ_{xy}= \pm e^2/h$的时间反演对称性。

英文摘要:

We investigate few- and many-body states in half-filled maximally symmetric topological insulator flat bands realized by two degenerate Landau levels which experience opposite magnetic fields. This serves as a toy model of flat bands in moiré materials in which valleys have Chern numbers $C= \pm 1$. We argue that although the spontaneously polarized Ising Chern magnet is a natural ground state for repulsive Coulomb interactions, it can be in reasonable energetic competition with correlated states which can be viewed as Laughlin states of excitons when short distance corrections to the interaction are included. This is because charge neutral excitons in these bands behave effectively as charged particles in ordinary Landau levels. In particular, the Ising Chern magnet is no longer the ground state once the strength of a short range intra-valley repulsion is about $30\%$ larger than the inter-valley repulsion. Remarkably, these excitonic Laughlin states feature valley number fractionalization but no charge fractionalization and a quantized charge Hall conductivity identical to the Ising magnet, $σ_{xy}= \pm e^2/h$, and thus cannot be distinguished from it by ordinary charge transport measurements. The most compact excitonic Laughlin state that can be constructed in these bands is an analogue of $ν=1/4$ bosonic Laughlin state and has no valley polarization even though it spontaneously breaks time reversal symmetry with a charge Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}= \pm e^2/h$.
