摘要:

在量子磁体中寻找物质的新拓扑相已经成为凝聚态物理的前沿。在这里,我们使用国家的最先进的角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)研究单晶的Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$在其铁磁相。我们报告的第一次签名的拓扑外尔循环。从基本的对称性考虑,这个磁外尔环预计是无间隙的,如果自旋轨道耦合(SOC)是严格为零,但有间隙,与可能的外尔点,在有限SOC下。我们指出,高分辨率ARPES结果迄今不能明确地解决SOC间隙沿外尔环的任何地方,留下Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$具有零Weyl点或某个非零数量的Weyl点的可能性。在我们的样品表面,我们进一步观察到一个可能的费米弧,但我们无法清楚地验证其拓扑性质使用既定的计数标准。因此,我们认为,从光电子能谱的角度来看,外尔点和费米弧在Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$中的存在仍然是模糊的。我们的研究结果对正在进行的Co $_3$ Sn $_2$ S $_2$和其他拓扑磁体的研究具有一定的意义。

英文摘要:

The search for novel topological phases of matter in quantum magnets has emerged as a frontier of condensed matter physics. Here we use state-of-the-art angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate single crystals of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ in its ferromagnetic phase. We report for the first time signatures of a topological Weyl loop. From fundamental symmetry considerations, this magnetic Weyl loop is expected to be gapless if spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is strictly zero but gapped, with possible Weyl points, under finite SOC. We point out that high-resolution ARPES results to date cannot unambiguously resolve the SOC gap anywhere along the Weyl loop, leaving open the possibility that Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ hosts zero Weyl points or some non-zero number of Weyl points. On the surface of our samples, we further observe a possible Fermi arc, but we are unable to clearly verify its topological nature using the established counting criteria. As a result, we argue that from the point of view of photoemission spectroscopy the presence of Weyl points and Fermi arcs in Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ remains ambiguous. Our results have implications for ongoing investigations of Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ and other topological magnets.
