拓扑与非拓扑金属中的三重简并节线

Triply degenerate nodal lines in topological and non-topological metals

Zhihai Liu, Luyang Wang, Dao-Xin Yao

摘要:

拓扑结点线半金属具有双重或四重退化结点线,它们受到对称性的保护。在这里,我们调查的可能性存在的三重退化节线的金属。我们提出了两种类型的三重退化节线,一个拓扑平凡和其他非平凡。第一类是由二维赝自旋1费米子堆叠而成的,它可以被看作是一种可调谐的带交叉线结构的临界情况,该结构包含一个受保护的二次带交叉线和一个非简并带,并且在微扰下可以分裂成四个Weyl节线。我们发现结线结构的表面态依赖于晶格的几何形状和表面终止。这样的金属在一定的填充范围内有一个费米面的嵌套,当包括相互作用时,导致密度波态。第二类是赝自旋1费米子的涡环。在该系统中,赝自旋形成Skyrmion织构,表面态为完全扩展的拓扑费米弧,从而表现出三维量子反常霍尔效应,并具有最大的霍尔电导率.在第一布里渊区,涡环可以演化为一对不闭合的涡线。如果涡线是系统的唯一节特征,那么涡线就不能单独存在于格点模型中。

英文摘要:

Topological nodal-line semimetals exhibit double or fourfold degenerate nodal lines, which are protected by symmetries. Here, we investigate the possibility of the existence of triply degenerate nodal lines in metals. We present two types of triply degenerate nodal lines, one topologically trivial and the other nontrivial. The first type is stacked by two-dimensional pseudospin-1 fermions, which can be viewed as an critical case of a tunable band-crossing line structure that contains a symmetry-protected quadratic band-crossing line and a non-degenerate band, and can split into four Weyl nodal lines under perturbations. We find that surface states of the nodal line structure are dependent on the geometry of the lattice and the surface termination. Such a metal has a nesting of Fermi surface in a range of filling, resulting in a density-wave state when interaction is included. The second type is a vortex ring of pseudospin-1 fermions. In this system, the pseudospins form Skyrmion textures, and the surface states are fully extended topological Fermi arcs so that the model exhibits 3D quantum anomalous Hall effect with a maximal Hall conductivity. The vortex ring can evolve into a pair of vortex lines that are not closed in the first Brillouin zone. A vortex line cannot singly exist in the lattice model if it is the only nodal feature of the system.
