摘要:

从理论上预测了有机盐$α$ -(BEDT-TTF)$_2$ I $_3$的光诱导拓扑相的出现及其相变,该化合物的能带结构具有倾斜的狄拉克锥.利用Floquet定理分析了描述BEDT-TTF层中传导电子的光驱动紧束缚模型,证明了圆偏振光的照射在Dirac点处打开一个能隙,系统最终变成一个量子化拓扑不变量的Chern绝缘体.在光的振幅和频率平面上得到了一个丰富的相图,其中包含了Chern绝缘体相、半金属相和正常绝缘体相。我们发现,光致霍尔电导率提供了一个敏感的手段来检测预测的相位演化实验。这项工作有助于通过拓宽目标材料的范围,表现出光诱导的拓扑相变发展的光学操纵的电子状态的物质。

英文摘要:

The emergence of photo-induced topological phases and their phase transitions are theoretically predicted in organic salt $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$, which possesses inclined Dirac cones in its band structure. By analyzing a photo-driven tight-binding model describing conduction electrons in the BEDT-TTF layer using the Floquet theorem, we demonstrate that irradiation with circularly polarized light opens a gap at the Dirac points, and the system eventually becomes a Chern insulator characterized by a quantized topological invariant. A rich phase diagram is obtained in plane of amplitude and frequency of light, which contains Chern insulator, semimetal, and normal insulator phases. We find that the photo-induced Hall conductivity provides a sensitive means to detect the predicted phase evolutions experimentally. This work contributes towards developing the optical manipulation of electronic states in matter through broadening the range of target materials that manifest photo-induced topological phase transitions.
