摘要:

研究了具有反转对称性的高阶拓扑绝缘体中手征铰链态的位置。首先,我们通过研究表面狄拉克质量的符号对表面取向的依赖性,在所有具有反演对称性的I型磁空间群中,我们穷尽了HOTI中铰链态的所有可能构型。特别是,在滑移对称的存在下,对于特定的表面取向,表面狄拉克质量通过改变表面终止而改变符号。通过将这一结果应用于层状反铁磁体(AFM),我们发现偶数层和奇数层的情况之间的铰链状态的差异。在不保持反转对称的偶数层的情况下,铰链态的位置不是反转对称的。尽管如此,这些反转不对称铰链状态的结果从散装拓扑结构。我们证明了它们的反转非对称构型是由对称性和拓扑不变量唯一确定的。

英文摘要:

We study positions of chiral hinge states in higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) with inversion symmetry. First, we exhaust all possible configurations of the hinge states in the HOTIs in all type-I magnetic space groups with inversion symmetry by studying dependence of the sign of the surface Dirac mass on surface orientations. In particular, in the presence of glide symmetry, for particular surface orientations, the surface Dirac mass changes sign by changing the surface terminations. By applying this result to a layered antiferromagnet (AFM), we find a difference in the hinge states between the cases with an even and odd number of layers. In the case of an even number of layers, which does not preserve inversion symmetry, positions of hinge states are not inversion symmetric. Nonetheless, these inversion-asymmetric hinge states result from the bulk topology. We show that their inversion-asymmetric configurations are uniquely determined from the symmetries and the topological invariant.
