具有张量单极的四维半金属:从表面态到拓扑响应

Four-dimensional semimetals with tensor monopoles: From surface states to topological responses

Yan-Qing Zhu, Nathan Goldman, Giandomenico Palumbo

摘要:

量子反常为探索拓扑半金属中的输运现象提供了有益的指导。在这项工作中,我们介绍了一个模型描述了一个半金属在四维空间,其节点的行为就像张量单极在动量空间。该系统表现出的拓扑Dixmier-Douady不变量的值的变化,以及由相关的表面状态在其边界上,作为信号的胆固醇到胆固醇的相变。我们使用这个模型来揭示一个有趣的“四维宇称磁效应”,这源于宇称型异常。在这种效应中,在存在磁扰动的情况下,在时间调制虚拟单极子之间的分离时感生拓扑电流。除了在凝聚态和量子场论中的理论意义外,我们的模型所揭示的独特的4D磁效应可以通过模拟合成物质中的高维半金属来测量。

英文摘要:

Quantum anomalies offer a useful guide for the exploration of transport phenomena in topological semimetals. In this work, we introduce a model describing a semimetal in four spatial dimensions, whose nodal points act like tensor monopoles in momentum space. This system is shown to exhibit monopole-to-monopole phase transitions, as signaled by a change in the value of the topological Dixmier-Douady invariant as well as by the associated surface states on its boundary. We use this model to reveal an intriguing "4D parity magnetic effect", which stems from a parity-type anomaly. In this effect, topological currents are induced upon time-modulating the separation between the fictitious monopoles in the presence of a magnetic perturbation. Besides its theoretical implications in both condensed matter and quantum field theory, the peculiar 4D magnetic effect revealed by our model could be measured by simulating higher-dimensional semimetals in synthetic matter.
