区分ZrTe $_5$中的带隙和外尔半金属情况:来自有效双带模型的见解

Distinguishing the gapped and Weyl semimetal scenario in ZrTe$_5$: insights from an effective two-band model

Z. Rukelj, C. C. Homes, M. Orlita, Ana Akrap

摘要:

本文研究了一个低能双带模型的静态和动态输运性质。Martino等人[PRL 122,217402(2019),arXiv:1905.00280],具有各向异性面内线性动量依赖性和抛物线面外色散。该模型扩展到包括一个负的带隙,这导致出现的外尔半金属(WSM)状态,而不是带隙的半金属(GSM)状态时,带隙是积极的。我们计算并比较了GSM和WSM的零频和有限频输运性质。GSM和WSM情况下计算的$dc$属性是Drude谱权重、迁移率和电阻率。我们确定它们的费米能量和晶体方向的依赖。在和出平面的光学电导率计算的极限消失的带间弛豫率为两种半金属。主要的共同特征是光学电导率的$ω^{1/2}$面内和$ω^{3/2}$面外频率依赖性。我们寻求与电荷传输相关的特定特征,这些特征可以明确地指向一个基态而不是另一个,基于与实验的比较。WSM和GSM之间的差异原则上仅在极低的载流子浓度和低温下才可能存在。

英文摘要:

Here we study the static and dynamic transport properties of a low energy two-band model proposed previously in E. Martino et al. [PRL 122, 217402 (2019), arXiv:1905.00280], with an anisotropic in-plane linear momentum dependence, and a parabolic out-of-plane dispersion. The model is extended to include a negative band gap, which leads to the emergence of a Weyl semimetal (WSM) state, as opposed to the gapped semimetal (GSM) state when the band gap is positive. We calculate and compare the zero and finite frequency transport properties of the GSM and WSM cases. The $dc$ properties that are calculated for the GSM and WSM cases are Drude spectral weight, mobility and resistivity. We determine their dependence on the Fermi energy and crystal direction. The in- and out-of-plane optical conductivities are calculated in the limit of the vanishing interband relaxation rate for both semimetals. The main common features are an $ω^{1/2}$ in-plane and $ω^{3/2}$ out-of-plane frequency dependence of the optical conductivity. We seek particular features related to the charge transport that could unambiguously point to one ground state over the other, based on the comparison with the experiment. Differences between the WSM and GSM are in principle possible only at extremely low carrier concentrations, and at low temperatures.
